Chapter 161: What Kind of Writing Is This?

The special training team members have graduated, and all ten of them have received Hongtongtong's certificates of completion.

The Hengling Re-education Through Labor Detachment came with a minibus to pull the trainees back to their units one by one.

It's just that when passing by the small restaurant "Where do customers come from", Zhou Yunzhen suddenly called to stop.

"What's the matter with you?" Yu Guidong, deputy director of the Political Department who led the team, asked with some displeasure.

"Deputy Director Yu, I want to get out of the car, there are some things to handle. In the afternoon I took a taxi back. ”

"Urgent?"

"Yes, there is something important."

"Okay then." Yu Guidong didn't want to agree, but later his mind turned and he immediately agreed. There is no need to embarrass him for this little thing.

Zhou Yunzhen got out of the car, and the minibus drove away.

He entered the "Where the Guests Come From" restaurant, and a waitress bowed and said politely: "Welcome!" ”

"Is it breakfast, sir?"

"It's ten o'clock, and you're still having breakfast?"

"Then it's not time for Chinese food yet. I can only ask you to rest or go outside for a stroll and come back. ”

"I'm not here to eat."

"Why did the guest come?"

"I'm here to find the boss."

"Boss? Do you know our boss? ”

"Has your boss changed?"

"Nope!" The waitress replied in the affirmative.

"Then I know."

"What's the matter with the boss?"

"Buy tiger bone wine, can you report it?"

"Yes!"

The waiter turned away.

After a while, the boss came out, and Zhou Yunzhen saw that it was still the same boss a few months ago.

"Boss, do you still know me?"

"You are?" The boss asked, a little confused.

"I ate at your place three months ago." Zhou Yunzhen replied.

"There are so many people who have eaten that I don't have any impression."

"But we've also bought tiger bone wine."

"Really?" This time, the boss's eyes lit up, "How's the wine?" ”

"Very good! And? ”

"And what?"

"And it's definitely not your average tiger bone wine."

"And what kind of wine do you say?"

"This must be a medicinal wine brewed with tiger bones and a secret recipe of traditional Chinese medicine, which is definitely not ordinary." Zhou Yunzhen affirmed.

"I finally found someone who knew the goods, and my father's wish finally came true."

"What?" Zhou Yunzhen couldn't understand.

"When my father left, he left a message, if a repeat customer comes to the door and can tell the difference between this tiger bone wine, ask me to hand over a box to the visitor."

"Inherit his mantle."

Zhou Yunzhen was surprised: "You are his son, aren't you better than anyone else to continue his mantle?" ”

"Why did you choose an outsider to pass on the cheats?"

The boss smiled bitterly, "This requires a talented person to decipher, I can't do it." ”

"Where is your father now?"

"I've traveled the world."

"All over the world? Your father was a warlock of fairy wind bones? ”

"Definitely!"

"That's a man of the world."

"No, it's just a little bit of medicine. He also knows a little about the so-called secret recipe or secret book. That's why I'm waiting for someone who has the ability to interpret it. ”

"What the hell is it?"

"You sit down and wait."

With that, the boss turned and left.

Zhou Yunzhen sat down, he was curious about what kind of folk ancient secret recipe was, and he wanted to have a sneak peek.

After waiting for a while, the boss was squirming in his attic, and he found an old, mottled box.

Then he carefully handed it over to Zhou Yunzhen.

Zhou Yunzhen gently stroked the old, mottled box, and found that its surface was engraved with fine patterns, and the image of the dragon and phoenix jumped in front of him, as if it was about to break through the wall.

The boss solemnly handed him a key, and he carefully opened the box.

The box was full of silk, and Zhou Yunzhen gently pinched the silk inch by inch to see if he could find some small books mixed in the satin?

He carefully uncovered the layers of silk and finally found an old post.

This ancient post has been yellowed, and the cover has long been gone, but the content in it surprised Zhou Yunzhen.

Ancient posts are not traditional characters or ancient characters, but a strange ancient script.

The overall outline of the post word presents a long diamond shape, and the handwriting of the word is unique, similar to the long-legged mosquito word.

This kind of text is like a book from heaven to Zhou Yunzhen, it is not the same as chewing wax, dry and difficult to understand, but his eyes are black, and he is completely incomprehensible.

Zhou Yunzhen naturally couldn't understand it, but after looking at it, he was in the clouds and foggy, and he didn't know what to do.

I am afraid that this book will be discarded like a mustard if it is wandered to the market.

"What kind of text is this? It's like a book from heaven, I can't understand any of the words in it. Zhou Yunzhen said helplessly.

"I don't know."

"Could it be oracle bone writing?" Zhou Yunzhen said.

Then he rejects his idea.

As an early form of Chinese characters, oracle bone inscriptions show four structural characteristics: pictographic, signifying, ideological, and morphophonic.

These characteristics have made the oracle bone inscription occupy an important position in the development of Chinese characters.

In the late Yin Shang period, oracle bone inscriptions had formed a complete set of configuration systems, marking the maturity of the configuration of Chinese characters.

After thousands of years of evolution and development, oracle bone inscription has developed into a mature structure and functional character symbol system, which has many similarities with modern Chinese characters.

It is already a complete sample of the system that can be determined and has entered the mature stage of Chinese characters.

And the text in front of you has only four kinds of characters: dot, vertical, oblique, and arc.

This writing system is much more concise than oracle bone scripts, but it is difficult to connect with modern writing.

In other words, it is difficult to connect with complexity and simplification.

If you can't read this book, you certainly can't estimate its value. Maybe it's worthless, or maybe it's priceless.

However, since it is a gift, it has no value.

"You take it, right? As for whether the content can be understood, otherwise how the code is deciphered is none of my business. ”

"I'm just fulfilling my father's donation."

After the boss finished speaking, Zhou Yunzhen expressed his gratitude, "Even if the content of this book cannot be deciphered for a lifetime, I am very grateful to you and your father for your generosity, and the love is priceless." ”

Zhou Yunzhen asked for the boss's name, but the boss repeatedly refused, and finally had to say his name, Lu Chengping.

Zhou Yunzhen accepted the ancient book, and he held Lu Chengping's hand tightly, "Boss Lu, thank you!" There will be a period later. ”

"There will be a date later!"

The two shook hands tightly.

Zhou Yunzhen was just about to go out, but several young people with blue-faced fangs and tiger tattoos on their bodies, and they surrounded a person with a blue head and a ruthless gaze who entered the door.

One of the several young people who were angry in the flow bumped into Zhou Yunzhen intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhou Yunzhen was not wary at all, but his body had a natural reaction.

The ruffian who hit him with his open chest and bare arms, with dragons and tigers tattooed on his arms, and with a flat head, suddenly fell to the ground on his back and face to the sky.

The street ruffian let out a scream of pain.

A few street ruffians looked back at Zhou Yunzhen, "Huh?!" Whoever dares to hit us, don't you want to live? Suspicious of life? ”
