During the Warring States Period, each vassal state used its own script, and the writing style and style were very different, and at most there were hundreds of scripts at the same time, which brought great inconvenience to the exchanges between the countries, until the Qin State defeated the Six Kingdoms, and Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, and implemented the policy of "the same book and the same track", canceled the other six languages, and simplified the large seal script of the Qin State to the small seal, which unified the writing of the whole world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emergence of the small seal greatly reduced the difficulties in writing and reading the characters, and greatly promoted the exchange of domestic literati, which can be described as a milestone in cultural history.

At this moment, the old man asked Su Yi to use the "Seven Kingdoms Script", which refers to the seven scripts used by the Seven Kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Zhao, Qi, Yan, Han, and Wei, which were the most widely circulated during the Warring States Period.

If this requirement was placed before the Qin Dynasty, it would naturally not be difficult, because the literati at that time would inevitably list "mastering the script of the Seven Kingdoms" as the primary goal, but now, the emergence of seal script, official script and regular script has made it easier to learn the written language.

The children of the Jiangmen family and the Wang family will not learn, and it is even more impossible for the poor family like Su Yi to waste time on learning such meaningless partial knowledge.

Moreover, there was another thing that made Su Yi feel a little embarrassed.

"Senior, although it is hard to copy more than 100,000 words, Xiaosheng can bear it, but Jiuding Mountain has a time limit of only six hours, even if Xiaosheng has mastered the ability to write hard in the realm of calligraphy, he can't copy so many words in such a short time, you see ......"

Su Yi wanted to speak and stopped, did this old gentleman deliberately want to make things difficult for him?

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Zi said: There is no desire for speed, and there is no small profit." If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you see a small profit, you can't do a big thing. ”

Su Yi rolled her eyes.

This sentence comes from the Analects of the Analects, which means that you should not be greedy for speed, nor should you be greedy for small profits; if you are too eager to seek speed, you will not be able to achieve your goal, and if you are greedy for small profits, you will not be able to achieve great things.

This sentence has been widely circulated in later generations, but now he can't say a word of Su Yi's choking.

"Although I have heard that the test of Jiuding Mountain will be very tricky, but I didn't expect it to be tricky to this extent, if I don't pass this test, I can't move forward, but once I accept the test, I can't move forward inch by inch, it's really a dilemma, and I don't know if the ancestors of the past generations have met this test...... Well, since I've come here, it's impossible for me to turn back, even if I can't hope to reach the top of the mountain, I have to leave my footprints on the 100,000 steps!"

With the decision made, Su Yi sat down at the table, took out the ancient books of the Warring States Period from the Yanhai Tablet, and copied the three scriptures word by word against the seven national characters on them.

The old man was still as calm as water, and there was not a trace of joy or sorrow in his withered face.

Because of his unfamiliarity with the Seven Kingdoms script, Su Yi was very slow to copy at first, and although he was immersed in the pen, it still took him a full four hours to complete the copying of the Analects with the great seal of the Qin State.

There is still one hour before the end of Jiuding Mountain, but Mo said that it has been fifteen times, and Su Yi has not even finished half of the first time.

Su Yi knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to copy the remaining six times in such a short time anyway.

"Maybe Han Kai and the others encountered other tests, or maybe they had already surpassed me and climbed a higher ladder...... Forget it, I don't want to do it so much, I have to start and finish things, and since the test has begun, I must end it perfectly!"

Su Yi motivated herself and began to copy the following "Tao Te Ching" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

In the previous copying process, Su Yi had already used the ability to remember and was familiar with the writing of the Great Seal of the Qin State, so he was able to speed up and copy the two books in three hours.

The strokes of the big seal are cumbersome, coupled with the slow writing of the brush, the content of more than 20,000 words, Su Yi copied it for fourteen hours!

The time limit for entering Jiuding Mountain had long since passed, and Su Yi understood that he had stopped at the 100,000 steps.

But Su Yi quickly suppressed the regret in her heart, and didn't even think about why she hadn't been teleported out of the small world yet, just concentrating on writing.

Although the styles of the Seven Kingdoms are very different, they also have the same path and have many similarities, so Su Yi touched the bypass and knew the Chu script at twice the speed.

Then Su Yi copied it a second time, and this time it only took six hours.

After copying it twice, the day has passed.

"Although my mind will not feel tired and hungry, but the repetitive work is really drowsy, fortunately, I have mastered the 'pillow and wait', but I can hold on, but this old gentleman has been floating motionless in the sky all day, like a wood carving, don't you feel sleepy?"

The third time, Su Yi mastered the Yan script in a shorter time, and the writing speed also accelerated to a certain extent, and it only took four hours to complete the copying of the Three Classics.

This is followed by the third, fourth, and fifth passes...... Su Yi became more and more serious, not realizing that she had already spent several nights.

And his learning and copying speed of the Seven Kingdoms script is getting faster and faster, so that when he copied the last time in the Qi script, he actually wrote a few crosses in one breath!

When ordinary people just mastered the realm of calligraphy, they were also a few crosses, but what they wrote was a simplified official script and regular script, and the cumbersomeness of the Seven Kingdoms script was not at the same level at all.

“...... The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of the saint is indisputable. ”

After Su Yi finished writing the last sentence of the Tao Te Ching for the seventh time, she wanted to take a long sigh of relief, but when she realized that she was just a mind, she couldn't exhale, and she only felt that she was holding a breath in her heart.

"Done?" the old man asked calmly.

"I'm done copying, may I ask my seniors, how long have I copied it?" Su Yi asked.

"Twenty-six hours. ”

"In other words, more than two days have passed. Su Yi let out a helpless sigh.

The old man did not complain about Su Yi, but looked at the scrolls he had piled aside.

He glanced at Su Yi meaningfully, as if surprised that the latter could really master the rare Seven Kingdoms script.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the four walls and the roof quickly folded up, making a clicking sound, and then spread out in an instant, forming a wooden scale taller than a person.

"Mu Heng" is the early form of Libra, invented by Fan Li, one of the "Five Harmony Saints of Nanyang", which can measure weight and win balance, and is widely used in commerce and military.

I saw the old man wave his hand again, and eight iron weights weighing one bucket jumped into the plate at one end of Mu Heng.

"Weight" is the weight of later generations, and the word "weigh" is the ancient name of weight and scale, and later it was also extended to compare, judge and other meanings.

Subsequently, more than 500 pages of manuscripts flew like geese, neatly stacked on the other side of the plate of Mu Heng.

Su Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a little nervous.

Fortunately, the balance between the eight buckets of iron power and the 500-page copy scroll is the same, and the weight is the same.

"It's only eight buckets, you can move on. ”

The old man nodded, and disappeared with Mu Heng and the desk.

Su Yi loosened the heartstrings that had been tightened, but a trace of doubt spread from the bottom of her heart.

"Keep going? I copied twenty-six hours, isn't the trip to Jiuding Mountain already over?"

Su Yi was suspicious, looked down the mountain, and in an instant, his face was full of surprise and became extremely exciting.

In Su Yi's field of vision, the fastest Han Kai had just reached the 40,000-step platform, while the children of the Xiang family and Han Xiuzhu were close behind; Su Yi clearly remembered that when he ascended the 100,000-step platform and was tested, Han Kai had just crossed the 30,000-step platform.

"If Han Kai's speed hadn't changed, wouldn't it have been half an hour from the beginning to the end of my test? I clearly remember that I spent fifty-two hours copying the Three Scriptures, but I didn't expect the time lapse ratio to reach one to one hundred!"

Su Yi was immediately greatly encouraged, there are still nearly five hours to go, maybe he really has a chance to pass all the tests and climb to the top of the mountain!

Su Yi didn't hesitate, turned around and left.

The sea of clouds in front of him churned endlessly, and after a while, a broad avenue jumped out of the clouds and mist, leading straight to the platform of 110,000 steps.

Su Yi continued to embark on the road of mountain climbing, and this scene was discovered by many scholars at the foot of the mountain, and the Xiang family was even more overjoyed and excited.

"Look! Su Mitian has passed the test of the 100,000th order!"

"He's only been on the 100,000th step for a quarter of an hour!"

"It's really amazing!By the way, who is the fastest person in history to pass the 100,000-step test?"

"Nai Huo went to sick Huo Yao Ye, but he spent about thirty percent more time than Su Mitian. ”

"It really deserves to be a great skill through the ages, a poem that is heavenly! Su Mitian's strength and talent, how can it be compared to a mediocre person like Han Kai?"

"Victory is expected!"

The Xiang family was overjoyed, but a trace of bitterness welled up at the corner of Han Kai's mouth.

He had been cursing Su Yi to exhaust the remaining time in the 100,000-level test before, so that he could win with confidence, but he didn't expect that Su Yi was not only not hindered, but broke another record.

A hint of powerlessness welled up in his heart, but Han Kai still had the last shred of hope and quickened his pace again.

After the tea time, Su Yi boarded the platform of 110,000 steps.

The old man appeared again, skipped the step of greeting, and said directly: "You have proven that you are only eight buckets high, and the test of talent has passed one, and then the second test, 'Rich and Rich Five Cars'." ”

"Please give me advice, old gentleman. Su Yi arched his hand.

The old man waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed again, and Su Yi found herself in a library hall with five carriages in the center.

"In this test, you just have to read a book, and when you finish reading a book, you put it in the car, and you pass the test until it fills five cars and the horse doesn't move. The old man said.

If Su Yi had a physical body, he would have been sweating profusely. (To be continued.) )
