Chapter 226: Shang Zi
"Dare to ask the professor, where this word comes from!" Zhang Xiaofo sincerely sought advice.
"Hopefully, after I tell you where it came from, you'll tell me where you saw it!" Professor Wang is very good at doing business, and without waiting for Zhang Xiaofo to answer, he began to explain to himself: "You all know that there was no concept of writing at the beginning of human beings, and at that time they would only use pictures and so on to make records, and gradually in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, writing appeared!" The beginning of the text is different from our current one, it is a pictograph, and everything in the world is integrated into the text......" At this point, Professor Wang paused and motioned for the land monkey to close the office door: "What I say next may make you think I'm crazy!" But since you have found it, I will not hide anything, but I hope that you will keep the agreement and tell me the origin of this word! ”
"Professor Wang, don't worry, no matter how ridiculous what you say next, we will not be surprised!" Zhang Xiaofo opened his mouth to promise.
Professor Wang looked directly into Zhang Xiaofo's eyes.
The land monkey knew that there was no room for him to play now, and stood by the door with Liang Rui, one left and one right. Liang Rui's face was not good, and he kept his head down.
"We are accustomed to calling the earliest written language that appeared in human beings Shang Zi. In the beginning, words did not only have the function of communicating meaning, but they contained everything in them, and they carried great power in themselves...... It's just that this kind of writing was lost later......"
"Professor Wang, according to what you say, this word we brought to you also has a lot of power! What is the power of this word? Can you show us a demo? "The land monkey's mouth is naturally annoying.
However, Professor Wang did not show his displeasure: "In order to show the ability of Shang characters, they must also cooperate with the pronunciation, but unfortunately we don't know the pronunciation of this character now!" ”
"Isn't that just a lie?" The land monkeys were unimpressed.
"Land monkeys!" Zhang Xiaofo shouted: "I'm sorry Professor Wang!" ”
"It's okay!" Professor Wang waved his hand and waited.
Zhang Xiaofo smiled, took out a second note from his pocket and handed it over.
Professor Wang took it suspiciously, and after unfolding it, the whole person was in a state of trembling, and he felt very excited.
"Does Professor Wang know each other?" Zhang Xiaofo asked tentatively.
"No, I don't know much, but I can be sure of the word Shang!" Professor Wang couldn't wait to get the magnifying glass. The words that could be seen clearly with the naked eye effortlessly, he actually had to zoom in to carefully identify: "Magical, it's amazing, but I don't know what kind of effect these words will have when combined!" ”
"I know a little bit about the effect!" Zhang Xiaofo said.
"Really? Say it quickly! Professor Wang looked at Zhang Xiaofo expectantly.
"Professor Wang knows about a series of homicides that have occurred in Lishan City in recent days, right?" Zhang Xiaofo asked tentatively.
"You know, it is said that the murderer is very cruel and kills people indiscriminately!" Professor Wang's energy is all focused on Shang characters, so he is not very dedicated to Zhang Xiaofo's problem.
"I don't know if it's indiscriminate killing, but I heard that the victim's wound looks like it's burned, and these words are copied from the wound!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaofo finished speaking, he saw Professor Wang's eyes widen and stared at him directly: "I'm afraid that's the effect of these words." ”
"You mean...... You mean......" Professor Wang's hands trembling as he held the side of the note.
Zhang Xiaofo nodded.
Suddenly, Professor Wang seemed to have lost all the strength of his body. Leaning back and falling back in his chair, he laughed: "Hehehehehe...... Hehehehehe......"
Zhang Xiaofo was silent, he was very patient.
"I'm sorry, your last name!" After a long time, Professor Wang stopped laughing and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand.
"Please don't be polite, just call me Xiao Zhang!" When asked about his name, Zhang Xiaofo knew that Professor Wang regarded him as a conversation partner at this time.
"Okay, Xiao Zhang! Thank you! Professor Wang's tone was quite sincere: "Actually, I didn't tell you all the truth just now. Part of it is my own opinion, please don't be surprised! After getting Zhang Xiaofo's affirmative answer. Professor Wang continued: "I agree that Shang characters imply power in addition to their usefulness for communication and preservation. You think, what a magnanimous thing and what a great stroke it is for human beings to put into words everything they see, touch, and think. It is not surprising that these texts also have some of the properties of the things they originally represented. ”
"Most of the earliest myths of the Celestial Empire seem to have originated from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!"
Professor Wang didn't expect Zhang Xiaofo to say this, and cast an approving look: "Not bad!" However, my views have never been shared by my colleagues. So Xiao Zhang, the news you brought to me this time just proves my point. It turns out that these business words can also work when combined! Please let me know how things are going! If it's possible, let me see the murder weapon when I can solve the case! ”
"If there's a chance!" Zhang Xiaofo was also inconvenient to agree.
Professor Wang immediately realized that he was a little strongman: "I'm sorry! ”
"By the way, Professor, do you know that word?" Zhang Xiaofo is a little blessed to the soul. The word "Mo" was written on the paper.
"This one! I really know that! It seems to be a modal word, and it seems to have been sung by a shaman before a sacrifice or prayer! "Professor Wang is very excited today, so it doesn't matter what questions Zhang Xiaofo has. He's happy to answer.
"Does Professor Wang know anything about the history of the First Emperor during that period?" Zhang Xiaofo asked tentatively.
"I can say that I know better, after all, I am the consultant of this museum!" Professor Wang realized that Zhang Xiaofo had something to say: "If Xiao Zhang has any questions, you can ask me!" ”
"Is Professor Wang familiar with Ding Qin Jian?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"Huh! The First Emperor's Dingqin sword was divided into two. One of them is used to pass on the country, and the other is the one that the First Emperor himself carried......" Professor Wang said and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Xiao Zhang, you don't mean ......"
"That's what my brother Zhang meant! The victim's wounds were all caused by the Ding Qin Sword! ”
"It can't be!" Professor Wang immediately denied: "No one can enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at present!" It is impossible for the Dingqin Sword to appear outside! ”
"What are you excited for? If you say it's impossible, it's impossible? The land monkey could only mumble under Zhang Xiaofo's gaze.
"I'm sorry, Professor Wang, this is just my speculation, and it hasn't been confirmed!" After speaking, Zhang Xiaofo got up and said goodbye: "Thank you Professor Wang today, if you have the opportunity, I will come again to ask for advice!" ”
"Welcome Xiao Zhang, you can come at any time!" Professor Wang got up and sent Zhang Xiaofo out of the door. (To be continued......)
