Xia Yu saw a very peculiar scene, the scene in the room, which he never expected.

Cangjie has woken up, his injuries seem to be almost better, these are still in line with Xia Yu's expectations, after all, he has been away for so long, and there are special healing totem warriors on Huaxia Shenzhou, who can help with treatment, and the medical skills of Chi Songzi are also very superb, although Cangjie's injuries are serious, it should not be difficult to cure them after so long.

The only thing that surprised Xia Yu was what Cangjie was doing at the moment.

I saw Cangjie kneeling on the ground, on top of a monster's bone, carving something with a knife, around Cangjie, there are many such bones, densely packed on them, I don't know what is engraved, it looks a bit like a rune, but Xia Yu looks closely, but he feels a little different.

"What are you doing, Brother Cangjie?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask, he originally saw that Cangjie was concentrating on carving demon bones, and he didn't want to disturb Cangjie, but he was really a little curious, so he spoke.

Cangjie didn't react, as if he hadn't heard.

Xia Yu shouted several times in a row, but Cangjie still ignored it.

Xia Yu had no choice but to walk up to Cangjie, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother Cangjie, what are you doing, how are you so distracted, I can't even hear you?"

Cangjie reacted at this time, raised his head, with anger on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied after being disturbed, but when he saw that the person who disturbed him was Xia Yu, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, stood up, and said: "It turned out to be you, I thought it was a little rabbit cub who came to mess around again, when did you come back?"

Xia Yu looked at him with a very calm expression, as if he didn't know about the previous big battle outside, and he didn't know what he was busy with, so he was fascinated to this extent, so he asked: "I've been back for a while, before Huaxia Shenzhou was surrounded by the top ten demon generals, don't you know?"

Cangjie was taken aback and said, "When did it happen? Why don't I know? What's the situation now, the top ten demon generals, that's not a joke!"

Xia Yu looked at him for a while, couldn't help but be a little speechless, and said secretly: "That's true!" said: "It's okay for the time being, Huaxia Shenzhou has broken out of the encirclement, but the demon clan army behind is still chasing after it, and now according to the plan of the leader, he plans to go south and enter the sea area of the burial soul, otherwise, if he is caught up by the demon army, it will be troublesome." ”

When Cangjie heard that it was okay, he was relieved, but when he heard that he was going to enter the Soul Burial Sea, he couldn't help but be shocked again, and shouted: "The Soul Burial Sea?

Xia Yu saw that he was similar to what he thought at the time, so he roughly explained Chi Songzi's explanation, and after Cangjie listened to it, he understood and said: "I see, since the leader has entered the Soul Burial Sea and escaped by luck, it is indeed possible to give it a try, but it is still very dangerous......

Xia Yu said: "Danger is inevitable! By the way, I see that you are so fascinated that you haven't even heard such a big movement outside, what are you doing, why do you carve these strange things on these bones?"

When Cangjie heard this, he was a little unhappy and said, "I'm not a strange thing, I'm painting!"

"Painting?" Xia Yu frowned.

Cangjie handed the bone in his hand to Xia Yu and said, "Guess what I painted." ”

Xia Yu took the bone, looked carefully, and saw that on the bone, there were some twisted lines carved, intricate, and he didn't know what it was, and said suspiciously: "I can't guess, what are you painting?" I have seen paintings, but I have never seen paintings like yours, and paintings like yours are really incomprehensible!"

Cangjie showed a smug look, and said proudly: "If I can't understand it, that's called amazing, if I make it, everyone can understand it, then what else do I do with it? To tell you the truth, my kind of painting is indeed different from ordinary paintings, ordinary paintings, the lines are too complicated, I have greatly simplified it, and it can't even be called a painting anymore!"

As he spoke, Cangjie pointed to a pattern on the bone and said, "Look at this painting, what does it look like?"

Xia Yu looked at the pattern that Cangjie was referring to, only to see a circle on the top of the pattern, a vertical line below, and two horizontal lines. ”

Cangjie smiled, but didn't say it immediately, pointed to himself and said, "Look at it, is there any place like it?"

When Xia Yu heard this, he looked Cangjie up and down a few times, and was even more puzzled, and said: "Could it be that you can't paint this by yourself? This is too different, not even the eyes and nose, and the limbs are just a thread, not like it at all!"

Cangjie was not angry, and said: "Si Zhan Si, your strength is indeed strong, which I admire, but in terms of this intelligence, it is much higher than others, but compared to me, it is still a little worse." ”

Xia Yu smiled: "Yes, then tell me, where is your clever painting?"

Cangjie coughed, and said: "Didn't I say it before, my kind of painting is very different from ordinary paintings, it is simplified, others draw a head, you must add eyes, nose, ears, hair, draw a body, but also add clothes, draw a pair of hands, and draw ten fingers, don't you think it's too troublesome?"

Xia Yu said strangely: "Painting is inherently troublesome, if it's not troublesome, how can it look real, how can it look good? People just look like this, so naturally they should draw like this, like you, even if you circle three lines, even if you are a person, isn't it like a child's graffiti?"

Cangjie said proudly: "That's what I said, you are a little worse than me." ”

"Oh, could it be that there is a deep meaning hidden in a painting like yours?" Xia Yu asked.

Cangjie nodded and said, "That's right, my kind of painting is not for viewing at all, so it doesn't need to be good-looking, let alone real." ”

"What is that for?" Xia Yu asked.

Cangjie didn't answer immediately, but took out a rope from his arms, only to see that the rope was full of knots, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Xia Yu once saw this kind of rope in the room of Chi Songzi, and blurted out: "Of course I know this, this kind of rope is used for remembering, each knot represents one thing, and when you see this knot in the future, you can remember what happened in the past, this is called knotted rope memory." ”

Cangjie said: "That's right, it's indeed called knotted rope chronicle." As he spoke, Cangjie stroked the dense knots on the rope, and finally his fingers stopped on one of the knots, and asked, "Do you know what this knot represents and when it happened?"

Xia Yu smiled: "This is a knot you tied yourself, you should ask yourself, how can I know?"

Cangjie sighed and said, "If I know, why should I ask you?"

Xia Yu was taken aback and said, "What, have you forgotten?"

Cangjie's face showed a look of regret, stroked the knot, and said, "Yes, even I forgot about myself." In the days you left, my injuries were almost healed quickly, and I was idle, so I took out this rope and wanted to record what happened on Luo Wei Island that day, which was a memorial, but when I was about to tie the knot, I found that I had forgotten half of the knot in front of me, just like this knot, I didn't know what it represented, although I knew that it must have a special meaning for me, but I couldn't remember anything!"

Xia Yu listened, deep in his heart, he couldn't help but be touched inexplicably, and he was silent for a while, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Cangjie continued: "So, at that time, I suddenly began to find out that this rope, betrayed me, it didn't help me, let me remember what happened in the past, a disobedient rope, what's the use of asking for it?"

When Cangjie said this, he suddenly grabbed the rope and pulled it hard, tearing the rope in half.

Seeing this, Xia Yu hurriedly said: "What are you doing, although you have forgotten something, there is no need to tear the rope off, at least there is still half of the knot on it, you remember, don't you?"

Cangjie shook his head and said: "What's the use of remembering half of it, it won't be long before it's all forgotten, it's better to throw it away as soon as possible and use other methods to remember." ”

Xia Yu said: "This method is already the easiest and most useful method, what other way can be found?"

Cangjie smiled slightly, pointed to the pattern on the bone and said, "That's it, this is my new method!"

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, vaguely, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't completely figure it out, and asked, "You mean, these simplified paintings of yours can be used to remember?"

Cangjie said: "That's right, instead of using a knot to record an important event, it's better to draw it directly, isn't it? ”

Xia Yu was still a little confused, and said: "However, your kind of painting is too simple, and it doesn't look specific at all!"

Cangjie smiled: "So, didn't I say it, although I am a painting, it can not be regarded as a painting, and its expression is different from ordinary paintings." ”

Xia Yu asked, "Then what is it called?"

Cangjie said slowly: "It's called 'word'!"
