Chapter Ninety-Five: Cangjie Characters (2)

"Words?" Xia Yu was stunned again, not understanding why this kind of painting should be called "words".

But Cangjie didn't explain too much, at this time, the "word" in his mouth was just a musical note, and there was no specific symbol to represent, so he couldn't explain it.

At this time, Xia Yu couldn't help but be more curious about the patterns on these bones, if it was really like what Cangjie said, these patterns could replace the knotted rope records, then it would be a valuable wealth for the human race, and the inheritance of a lot of knowledge could become very simple, no longer as troublesome as before, and even for the exchange of information, it was very beneficial.

Xia Yu thought of this, so he simply sat down, picked up the bones carved by Cangjie one by one and looked at them for a long time, although he didn't fully understand, but he also saw a little bit of the doorway.

"I have not completely combined these patterns, although I have found a lot of simplified methods, but it is really difficult to combine them, maybe you can help me think of a way, one more person, after all, one more strength!" Cangjie said sincerely.

Xia Yu listened, and didn't understand what the method of combination was, until Cangjie explained it to him in detail, he understood that the original so-called combination method is to combine many patterns, or words, together, and then let it express a special meaning, which is completely different from the meaning of a single word.

"This is really a bit difficult to do!" Xia Yu patted his head, feeling that this kind of thing is too complicated, he doesn't know where to start, if he goes to kill monsters, no matter how difficult it is, he knows how to find opportunities, even if sometimes the opportunities are slim, but at least the opportunities exist, but in front of this combination of methods, Xia Yu felt that he had broken into a deep mountain and old forest, surrounded by fog, white, and couldn't see anything, let alone want to find a way out.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Yu didn't think of any good combination methods, although Cangjie had already put forward some preliminary ideas for this, but if he wanted to improve it, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, although Xia Yu wanted to help, but he was powerless.

"The kind of character you draw, if it can really be successfully realized as you said, it is a great thing, for the human race, it is a great achievement, and a lot of knowledge of the human race can be better preserved!" Xia Yu said with a sigh, he remembered the matter of Daze at the beginning, although Daze took the initiative to forget the past and isolate himself from the world, but if there is this kind of word, it will be much more difficult for the ancestors of the Daze clan to completely destroy history, and some clues will be retained.

"It's just too difficult to combine, I've thought about it for so long, but to this day, I still haven't been able to come up with a good combination!" Cangjie showed a distressed look.

Xia Yu saw that his face was full of haggardness, presumably during this time, in order to tinker with this thing, it took him a lot of energy, and although his injury was better, after all, his vitality was damaged, and it was especially difficult for him to do this kind of energy-consuming thing, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a burst of admiration for Cangjie.

Xia Yu and Cangjie both fell silent, and suddenly, Xia Yu thought of an idea.

"By the way, you can do this!" Xia Yu exclaimed happily, patting his head, annoyed that he hadn't thought of this idea until now.

"How?" Cangjie hurriedly asked.

"Isn't it okay for you to combine these words as we usually speak?" Xia Yu said with a smile.

Cangjie frowned and muttered, "Combine as you say?"

"Yes, like in the current situation, the monsters are chasing us, you can draw a word that represents the monster, and then draw a word that represents us, isn't it combined?" Xia Yu said.

Cangjie was still frowning, it seemed that there was still some problem, which had not been completely solved, and said: "But one word means monsters, one word means us, isn't there another chase in the middle, how to solve this chase?"

Xia Yu said: "Can't you draw a pattern that represents chasing?"

Cangjie shook his head and said, "I won't, this chase, I can't see or touch, I can't draw it at all!"

Xia Yu thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "You can draw a pair of feet, don't you have to chase with your feet, draw a pair of feet, you can say that you are chasing!"

Cangjie still shook his head and said: "That's not good, the foot is the foot, I drew a pair of feet, then it can only mean the foot, but not the chase, otherwise, the two meanings will overlap, it will make people confused, maybe after many years, even you don't know whether this pair of feet means feet or chasing, it was originally a monster chasing, but it turned out to be a monster's foot, so isn't it confusing? No, no, this is absolutely not good!"

Xia Yu listened to it and felt that this was indeed the case, this kind of easily confused meaning could indeed not be used, so what other way was there not to use?

The two of them fell into deep thought again.

"Why don't you add a little something else to these feet?" Xia Yu suddenly thought of another idea, and said tentatively, this time, he was no longer as sure as before, not sure if the idea was feasible.

Cangjie's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Yes, you can add things, why didn't I think of it? Fourth War Division, it seems that you are a little smarter than I imagined, you are not a little worse than me, it should be half a point!"

Xia Yu smiled: "Since you also think it is feasible, then what do you think should be added?"

Cangjie put his hand against his chin, pondered, and after half a sound, he said: "Since it's the monster chasing us, it's better to ......"

"Add a monster?" Xia Yu said.

Cangjie shook his head and said, "Then what's the matter, if you add a monster, then it will still become the monster's feet, and it will cause ambiguity!"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "That's what you said, then what do you say is good?"

Cangjie said: "If you want me to say, these monsters are not just one or two, but many, they are an army of demon clans, so adding a single monster will not only cause ambiguity, but also appear inappropriate, do you say?"

Xia Yu nodded and said: "That's the case, if you say so, then do you want to add a group of monsters?"

Cangjie said: "Of course it will become too big, so you must not add a group of monsters, and you must think of something that can replace the ...... of a demon army."

"What can replace a demon army, what is it?" Xia Yu fell into deep thought, he thought carefully for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything to replace a demon army, he thought that maybe he could draw a leader of the demon clan, but there are many leaders of this demon army, there are five demon generals, which one should be drawn? Even if one is chosen, it will also cause ambiguity, because this demon general, not all people have seen it, for those who have not seen it, then when they see this pattern, they will not think that it represents an army of demon clans, but just an ordinary monster.

Just as Xia Yu was meditating, Cangjie suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I thought about it, I thought about it, I thought about what to use to replace a demon army!"

"What is it for?" Xia Yu was surprised and curious, and hurriedly asked.

Cangjie didn't answer immediately, but used a knife to carve a pattern on a demon bone, and said, "Let's use this to represent a demon army!"

Xia Yu looked at the bone, and saw an arc engraved on it, and on the right side of the arc, there were two small circles, and the left side of the two small circles were attached to the arc.

"Why can this pattern represent an army of demon clans?" Xia Yu was puzzled.

Cangjie smiled: "Don't you see this pattern and don't you feel familiar?"

Xia Yu listened, looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned, and said: "It seems to be a little familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it, what is it?"

Cangjie smiled: "This is a talisman, it is a talisman of the demon clan, on Luowei Island, when the demon general was defeated, there was this talisman on his corpse, but he was engraved in the flesh and skin, it was a rune, indicating his status as a demon general, and he had the power to command the demon soldiers, so we can copy this talisman, can't it represent a demon army? Moreover, with this talisman, it is very simple and convenient to draw, killing two birds with one stone!"

When Xia Yu heard this, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Cangjie even more, and said: "No wonder I feel familiar, it turns out to be like this, I used to think it was a rune worshiped by the demon clan, but I didn't expect that this rune originally represented the power of the army, and it was a military rune! Your idea is indeed very ingenious, I think I can't find a better way than this!"

Cangjie was proud and happy, and then put the knife on the demon bone, while saying: "The pattern that indicates the demon army has been found, and next, you can draw a pair of feet, so that if you add it up, you can say that you are chasing, and it will definitely not cause ambiguity!"

Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, you draw a pair of feet to see first, I want to see what this word means chasing, what will it look like in the end!"

Cangjie picked up the knife and carved it little by little on the demon bone, and after a while, said, "Look at it, what do you think?"

Xia Yu looked at it, only to see that the top was the talisman, and the bottom was a pair of feet, the talisman looked very small and simple, but the feet below looked a little too cumbersome, and he couldn't help frowning, and said: "It's good, it's good, but it seems that it can be a little simpler!"
