Chapter 11 Romance of the Three Kingdoms Some Unfamiliar Words Comparison Dictionary

That night, when Liu Xu's teacher returned home, he couldn't wait to find out his student's Romance of the Three Kingdoms and began to read it seriously.

In fact, the teacher had read it once before, but he only read the first three chapters, and then he decided that it was a garbage novel, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

But after seeing the anti-heaven development curve of this book, the teacher had a fierce curiosity and seriously finished reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which had written 45 chapters.

After reading it for the first time, the teacher's eyes were a little hazy, and he had already noticed the interesting things in this novel, but because there were too many incomprehensible words in the novel, which were completely created by Liu Xu, so the teacher still couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, the teacher quickly found the top post in the book review area of the novel: Romance of the Three Kingdoms Some Unfamiliar Words Comparison Dictionary (Third Edition).

"Write three more versions ???" Just seeing a novel with a dictionary of unfamiliar words attached to it was shocking enough, but he didn't expect that this dictionary had gone through three versions of the change.

According to the brief introduction written by the author of the post in the post, it can be known that this is a comparative dictionary obtained by him personally by contacting the context and some guesses, which is not very accurate, but basically can help newcomers understand a lot of hidden meanings in this novel.

At the same time, I also briefly introduced the development history of this comparative dictionary, and in the first edition, there were only 45 nouns in the dictionary.

In the 2nd edition, there were 125 nouns explained.

By the 3rd edition, the number of noun explanations had increased to 312.

Later, the author also listed a list of thanks, which contains more than 20 names, all of which are readers who have helped the dictionary to correct and supplement, and the author also welcomes new readers to work together to help further improve the dictionary.

Finally, there is also a group number called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Comparative Dictionary Working Group", and readers who are willing to join the group are welcomed.

"I think there are only about 400 collections in this book at the moment!" Seeing this post, the teacher himself was completely stupid. A working group like this set up specifically for a certain book is almost always a treat that only the author's novel can have.

Moreover, the average contracted author does not have such treatment, and it has to be a signed author with the power of thousands of points to have a chance.

And it's worth mentioning that this working group was clearly set up by the readers themselves, not by some authors behind the scenes.

After all, this teacher visits his home once a year, and he is clear about Liu Xu's background as a child, after all, if such a working group is funded by the author, it will probably cost thousands of yuan every month, which is not something that Liu Xu, as an orphan, can afford to spend.

Not to mention that Liu Xu has a total of 400 collections, but more than 20 readers have participated in this comparative dictionary, which shows that 5% of readers have taken the initiative to join in this voluntary work after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

How good this novel must be in order for these people to devote themselves to unpaid voluntary labor without hesitation!

Thinking of this, the teacher couldn't help licking his lips, and then began to read the comparative dictionary that already had more than 300 words.

After reading it, the teacher felt that his eyes were completely new, and when he read the novel before, many difficult places to understand were also explained by this dictionary, and he understood the meaning.

And once he understood the meaning of these words, the teacher was even more shocked.

Because after understanding, the teacher understands what kind of profound content this book contains, as well as a huge world view.

"If you can finish the book with the quality of the beginning, and at the same time run the world view throughout, and the plot and world view setting in the middle do not collapse, then this book is at least a classic!" The teacher watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again in one go, and then said to himself with a blank look.

On the second day, the teacher returned to the classroom with some low spirits, and then glanced at Liu Xu, who was seriously coding words, and after hesitating for a while, he walked up to Liu Xu and said, "Liu Xu, what do you mean by Qiang people?" ”

"Robbing people?" Liu Xu was a little stupid when asked by this sudden question, the teacher smiled bitterly, and quickly explained, "It's that when you wrote about the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shaojieqiao, you once wrote such a sentence, saying that Gongsun Chan once had a war with the Qiang people, and there was no result for a long time. So one night, all the white horses and elite soldiers in the army were selected to carry out a night attack on the Qiang people at night. ”

Because the white horses were as strange as ghosts under the campfire at night, the Qiang army was very frightened and lost their morale, so they were scattered by a rush, and Gongsun Zhan was thus greatly ruined by the Qiang people. So the people at that time praised Gongsun Ju as a white horse general! ”

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that you are talking about the Qiang people," Liu Xu suddenly realized.

"That's right!" The teacher nodded, and then couldn't wait to ask, "What does this Qiang mean?" ”

Because this question has tormented me for too long, the teacher still cheekily asked, "What does the teacher mean, is this Qiang person a person's name or a country's name?" ”

"According to the dictionary, the Qiang people should be a person's name, with a lot of power, bordering the territory of the original Gongsun Zhan. But I see that in your latest chapter, you wrote about a man named Ma Teng, and there were Qiang people around him, and his grandfather also fought Qiang people, so the teacher was a little puzzled, if this Qiang person is a person's name, then this Qiang person is probably already eighty or ninety years old, is he still fighting at this age? ”

"So the teacher suspected that the Qiang people should be a country, and the comparison dictionary explained it wrongly, but the teacher couldn't be sure, so he had to ask you as the author!" The teacher asked with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry teacher, but I didn't understand it in the novel!" When Liu Xu heard this, he quickly stood up and apologized, and then explained, "The Qiang people are neither the name of a person nor a country, in this world, they are the name of a nation!" ”

"Qiang, the ancient ethnic name, also known as Xiqiang, was first recorded in the Shang Dynasty......" Liu Xu said a few hundred words of Qiang-related settings in one breath, which can also be seen why Liu Xu didn't want to write a note.

Because this thing is really tiring to write, a Qiang tribe has to explain so much, if you really write a commentary, the amount of text is probably five or six times that of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself.

Is it true that the authors are all monsters who can write tens of thousands of words a day without being tired?

Besides, Liu Xu is just a student of history.

"Well, of course, what I said is the setting in the novel, and it's normal for you not to understand, they are a semi-nomadic people in the north, with a wide range of branches, and the same ancestor and culture!" Liu Xu explained diligently

"Hmm...... Well......" The teacher said that in addition to the first sentence, he couldn't understand the explanation at all, and just those frequent Qiang characters had already exploded the teacher's head.

Liu Xu also seemed to see the teacher's puzzlement, so he took out a paper and pen very intimately, quickly wrote out the explanation he just said, and then handed it to the teacher.

After the teacher read it, he said with amazement on his face, "Liu Xu, I didn't expect your setting to be so detailed. Just for your carefulness, the future of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms book is limitless. Even if you can't get the God-given covenant this time, you must insist on writing it down, don't give up, the covenant must be waiting for you! ”

“…… Thank you, teacher! Although Liu Xu wanted to explain that this was not his own setting, but a historical fact, it was definitely useless to say it, so he held it back.

After that, the teacher tutored the novels of other students a little carelessly, and then couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and enter a chat group called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Comparative Dictionary Working Group", and then typed in the group, "Group leader, your previous explanation about the Qiang people is wrong, the Qiang people are not the names of people, but the names of a nation......

After speaking, the teacher typed the paragraph that Liu Xu wrote to himself just now, word for word, into the group.

"This newcomer, you are too good at making up, you are even more capable of making up than our Origin Heavenly King!" The group leader didn't have time to speak, and a group friend named Da Jiangdong went directly to complain.

"I'm not making it up, that's the truth!" The teacher said firmly.

", the Qiang people are definitely a person's name, and in your explanation, except for the Qiang character, you can't see a word in other novels, you're not making it up! It's hard to come up with dozens of different, bizarre names for you! Da Jiangdong went to complain.

"I'm really not making it up, it's all true!" The teacher said helplessly, and then the two of them quarreled directly in the group.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the group leader Lu Bu was the first in the world and finally went online and said, "Newcomer, there must be evidence for the deletion and correction of the dictionary, what evidence do you have to prove that your explanation is correct?" ”

"The First Heavenly King is my student, and he wrote this passage to me by his own hand, is this evidence enough?" The teacher smugly typed out this paragraph.

He had been holding back this sentence for more than ten minutes, just waiting for this opportunity to say it.

After all, when it comes to pretending to be forced, he, the author who has written novels for 20 years, is really good at it, and it costs everything!
