Coming to Lijia Village at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xing asked a villager who was working in a roadside field to find the home of an old man named Li Yishi.

The villager pointed to it, and it was a very ordinary small walled house, several bungalows, and a hall, which looked very old.

Ye Xing knocked on the copper ring on the wooden door, and it jingled, and soon, a middle-aged man opened the door and came out, looking at the person who came suspiciously.

Ye Xing hurriedly stepped forward, explained his intentions, and presented gifts.

The middle-aged man, the old man Li Yishi is his grandfather, he is already old, and he has to ask before he can let Ye Xing in.

At tea time, the middle-aged man said, "The old man is still taking a lunch break, and he will see each other when he wakes up." ”

The man asked Ye Xing to enter the house and entertain him for lunch, but Ye Xing didn't eat, just drank tea.

The middle-aged man accompanied Ye Xing and asked in detail, Ye Xing replied simply, saying that he was a student from Donghai County, and this time he heard that the old man knew ancient characters, so he came to ask for advice.

An hour later, Ye Xing saw the old man, although the old man was inconvenient, he was still very energetic, and beckoned Ye Xing to sit down.

Ye Xing had already drawn out the words he had written down in advance, and took them out one by one for the old man to see.

The old man only glanced at it briefly, then nodded and said, "This is an ancient script, and it should be a script from 100,000 years ago." ”

The old man pointed to the first word, "Saint", Ye Xing wrote it directly below, and then recognized more than a dozen words.

Ye Xing said, "Uncle, how did you recognize these ancient words?" This is probably older than the writing of the previous dynasty. ”

Old Man Li said, "Actually, my ancestor was a disciple of the Holy Sect, and when he was practicing in the Holy Land, he learned it and copied a dictionary comparing the ancient characters with the characters of the previous dynasties, which has been circulated for thousands of years. It's just that there are few people who can understand the words of the previous dynasty now, so those extremely old words can't be read at all. ”

Ye Xing was overjoyed and said, "Old man, can you borrow your ancestor's dictionary and take a look?" ”

Old Man Li shook his head and said, "The original dictionary has long been damaged, when I was young, there was only about half of the dictionary left, and then I recopied it with my own hands, but now I don't know where to put it." ”

Ye Xing was disappointed, half loud, but still asked, "Uncle, how much more can you write down, can you teach me?" ”

Old Man Li shook his head and said, "I'm in my nineties now, and I haven't been in contact with it again in the next few decades, so it's impossible to teach you." ”

Looking at Ye Xing's disappointed face, the old man thought for a while and said, "I can still find it in the old things, the west wing used to be my study house when I was young, but now it is full of miscellaneous items." ”

Ye Xing turned to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Can I find it in that room?" ”

The middle-aged man was not very happy, his face was a little impatient, and he said, "It's a pile of old farm tools, and it's very troublesome to move out and find it."

A large ingot of silver appeared in Ye Xing's hand, blocked the old man's sight with his body, handed it to the middle-aged man's hand, and said, "Uncle Lao is looking for it, it is also the old man's hard work when he was young, don't waste it." ”

The middle-aged man pinched the silver ingot with his fingernails, put it in his arms, and said, "Grandpa, I'll go look for it, I haven't sorted it out for many years." ”

The old man also said, "That should be useful, it's a pity to turn into waste paper, you go to find it, it should be in the cabinet there, I'm afraid of insects eating it."

The middle-aged man took Ye Xing into the west wing, and there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up inside, and the two of them worked together to move the things out of the patio, and finally found a pile of old papers in the innermost few extremely old cabinets.

Ye Xing and the middle-aged man took out the pile of old papers one by one to check, many of them were damaged, and they were rotten when they touched their hands.

No matter what was written on it, Ye Xing sorted it out and stacked it one by one, and now he didn't have time to look at them one by one.

Half an hour later, the two finally found a thick yellowed book, which should be an ancient dictionary handcopied by the old man, Ye Xing saw that the homepage read "Examination of Ancient Characters", which was the text of the Song Kingdom, and there were multiple insect eyes on the cover.

The middle-aged man took the book to the old man, and the old man only glanced at it, and said happily, "It's this one, it's okay, it's okay, well, it seems to be well preserved."

The old man took it, stroked the cover, and turned the pages, there should be hundreds of pages of yellowed paper on the inner pages, the words were very small and neat, and said, "The front is an ancient text, there are not many words, and there are notes!" The back is the text of the previous dynasty, and many people understand the text of the previous dynasty, so I didn't copy it all at that time, it was too much. ”

The old man played with it for a while, and then handed it to Ye Xing, "It's a good thing that young people are studious, and sooner or later they will be lost if they are placed in me, so you can take it and learn it." ”

Ye Xingzhen took it and said, "Thank you, uncle!" I will definitely treasure this book and not let it be damaged! ”

The old man said, "It's true that it can play its role, if you don't come to ask, in a few years, this book will become garbage, you can take it." ”

Ye Xing sincerely thanked him again and again, and gave the old man a bottle of solid gas Pei Yuan Dan, telling him that he could take care of his body, and the old man and his family did not know that it was worth a thousand gold, but they still accepted it.

Ye Xing returned to the big ship outside Taihua City, there were only five special combat team members on board, and the two women and others were still playing in the city.

After another night's rest, the next morning, the big ship set off for the capital, sailing upwind and upstream.

Ye Xing hid in his cabin, so that everyone did not have to disturb, including eating, there was no need to call him, he wanted to cultivate, this was his regular action, everyone was not surprised, and they would not worry, with Ye Xing's cultivation, he would not eat or drink for ten days and a half, and he would be fine at all.

Turning over the yellowed pages, Ye Xing cautiously copied them page by page, and sure enough, the thousands of words in front were ancient characters, and some of the words in the back were words from the previous dynasty, not only a table of comparisons, but also simple notes.

Ye Xing copied and memorized, and also reasoned about its original meaning, with his powerful divine sense, although it was not easy, he still memorized it all.

Of course, in fact, the most important thing is that Ye Xing used the current Song State script and then made annotations, and now there is a comparison of the three languages.

It took three days for Ye Xing to copy 4,000 ancient characters, former dynasty characters, and modern characters twice, bound them into two dictionaries, and verified the desert island murals in his memory one by one, and found that he could read through most of them.

It turns out that the desert island mural is really the process of sacrifice, as well as some operational details, it is conceivable that among the few Five Elements Mountains on the island, a long time ago, someone should have gone to worship, and then it stopped for some reason.

It took Ye Xing five days to complete the translation of the words in the desert island mural in his memory.

The sacrifice from the murals of the desert island shows that the five spiritual mountains on the desert island are a large magic circle specially arranged, and when the five elements spirit array is sacrificed at the same time, it means that the sacrifice can communicate with the upper realm, and as for what the upper realm is, it is not explained.

Through the interpretation of the desert island murals, coupled with Ye Xing's own reasoning, now he is an expert in ancient literature, and I believe that there are not many people in the world who can have such knowledge as him.

As Ye Xing knows more and more, his reasoning will become more and more accurate, which is the inherent ability of his quantum intelligence, but he has not been able to recover now, but it seems that his brain is much better.

And it is obvious that Ye Xing now naturally has a new understanding of the "Returning to the Tibetan Sutra".

The text of the Guizang Sutra is also a variant of the ancient script, which may be older than the text of the previous dynasty, but it can basically be interpreted by referring to the ancient script and the text of the previous dynasty.

The second half of the "Interpretation of Ancient Characters" is a commentary on the text of the previous dynasty, Ye Xing compared the comparative dictionary of the text of the previous dynasty that he edited some time ago, and he has a new harvest, many of the annotations are completely different, which is probably because of the different opinions of each person.

As a result, Ye Xing also partially revised the dictionary he compiled, which may be more accurate and detailed, which is more confident in interpreting ancient texts.

Ye Xing's hand speed is extremely fast, completely fast, and his writing is not with a brush, but with a newly developed quick-drying ink, which basically dries all at once, and some special insect prevention measures are also used on the paper, so that the dictionary can be protected for a long time.

Ye Xing quickly completed all the proofreading work of the dictionary, and then copied it neatly into a brand new dictionary.

In this new dictionary, Ye Xing named a new name "Ancient Character General Explanation".

Finally, Ye Xing walked out of the cabin, called the two women, and asked the two to see the results of their ten days of hard work, the two women were very surprised, they thought that Ye Xing was in retreat and cultivation, but it turned out to be a retreat study, which was really unexpected.

The two women opened Ye Xing's achievements in ten days, and carefully appreciated them, the dictionary was extremely sophisticated, the size was like a mosquito, and the handwriting was beautiful, and they were all very impressed.

Putting the dictionary in the space ring and accompanying the two girls, Ye Xing started his first meal in ten days.
