Chapter 181: Popular Science

"Another example is Chinese characters, Chinese characters evolved from paintings, so the original Chinese characters were not what they are now, such as the character 'horse'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" said and wrote an oracle bone 'horse' on the table.

"This word is similar to the word on the cheats. Qian Luoshuang lost her voice, and Qian Luoxue also looked at Guan Yang in surprise.

Guan Yang nodded: "This is the earliest Chinese character I know so far, because it is usually engraved on tortoise shells or bones, so I call it oracle bone inscription." The next thing is engraved on the metal, called Jinwen, and the glyph has also changed a lot, or this 'horse' character. "Guan Yang wrote another golden text 'horse'.

"It's different, it's simpler. Mu Tianji compared the two words.

"That's right, the evolution of Chinese characters is, to put it bluntly, a process of becoming simpler. Guan Yang continued: "Next is the big seal, the big seal is also known as the Zhouwen, popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty, according to legend for the Xia Dynasty Boyi created, it is still this 'horse' word, let's see what is the difference." ”

"Then it is the Warring States script, and it is still the word 'horse'. Warring States Writing: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many countries, and the distance between countries was too far, and their characters became different. Guan Yang wrote a few different 'horse' characters on the table.

"It's different. Everyone looked at each other, and Guan Yang nodded: "That's right, the next thing is that Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, swallowing the world, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same." Prime Minister Li Si created the small seal as the national standard script. "As he spoke, he wrote down the 'horse' in the small seal.

"Then in the Han Dynasty, there was Lishu, and Lishu was almost the same as the current word. Guan Yang wrote down the word 'horse' in Lishu: "The next is the various fonts created by major famous artists, which have been used to this day." This is the history of the evolution of Chinese characters. ”

"I see. It dawned on everyone.

"Then, Brother Guan, what branch are you talking about?" asked Hu Le.

"Just as the characters of various countries evolved differently due to different regions during the Warring States period, it is possible that at some point there was a group of our ancestors who lived in seclusion, and their characters changed over time, and eventually became like this. ”

"Makes sense. Qian Luoxue looked at Guan Yang with expectant eyes: "Then, Guan Gongzi, do you know these words?"

Guan Yang shook his head: "I really don't know this, even if I do, after so many years, the meaning they want to express is very likely to be different from ours." ”

"That's right. Qian Luoxue was not disappointed, after all, Guan Yang is a human being, not a god.

"But since this secret book was found in the belly of a whale, it is very likely that our ancestors lived in seclusion overseas during the war, so I suggest you look for it on Kaido Island, although there are many islands in Haidao, but there is still hope to find it, but the Central Plains will definitely not have a clue of this kind of word. ”

"What you said makes a lot of sense, thank you Guan Gongzi. ”

"Hahaha...... You're welcome, as long as you're not mad at me. Guan Yang took out a pen and paper and silently wrote down the cheats of "Left and Right Mutual Fighting" and handed it to Qian Luoxue: "This is the mantra of "Left and Right Mutual Fighting", you can just write it down." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Guan. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Guan Yang's heart was very happy, and he finally fooled them over, that's right, Guan Yang did not know the words on the table, but he knew something on him.

"Vasha Oracle. That's the system's answer.

"Vasha Oracle? ”

"You also know that the Shang Dynasty fell not because it was weak, but because the armies of the Shang Dynasty were fighting everywhere at that time, which allowed the Zhou Dynasty to take advantage of a loophole. ”

"I know all of this, and then what?"

"But what you don't know is that when the Shang Dynasty fell, where did those armies that quell the chaos go?"

"Wasn't it put into storage by King Wu of Zhou's swords and guns, and the horse was put in Nanshan, and he became a farmer again?"

"Host, you can have a snack. The system is quite hateful, and iron is not steel: "Which one of the generals who can lead the army alone is not loyal to the king of Shang? Let it be destroyed if the Shang Dynasty is destroyed? Will no one avenge the king of Zhou?"

"Yes, it seems that there was indeed no major war in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. The biggest one is Wu Geng's rebellion, right? Where did these troops go?"

"That's the crux of the matter. The system said: "These armies saw that there was no hope of resisting the Zhou Dynasty, and they were unwilling to submit to the Zhou Dynasty, so they took the army and some of the people to the sea. ”

Then they were lucky enough to find a big island. Guan Yang said.

"Yes, and in honor of the Shang Dynasty, the island was named Wangshang. The system said: "They multiplied on that island and established a kingdom of Wangshang, and then their descendants gradually forgot the origin of their ancestors, and the language and writing gradually changed, and Wangshang became Vasha." ”

"Then why did they put the cheats in the belly of the whale?"

"How does the system know?"

"How do you know that?"

"This history is well documented. ”

"Where?"

"The Book of the Southern Han Dynasty", in the third year of Jingwu, the true emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, there was a stranger who came from the overseas Wanshan country, claiming to be a remnant of the Shang Dynasty, and his writing and seal inscription are plausible. It is also recorded in the "Book of Kang": In the fourth year of the blessing of Kangdingzong, a fisherman in Jianzhou rescued two people from the sea, claiming to be Vasha, and the language is similar to ours, but the writing is completely different. ”

"You suspect that Vasha and the former Wanshan are the same place, and both names were changed by Wangshang. ”

"That's right. ”

"Kind of makes sense. ”

After finishing the communication with the system, Guan Yang lay back on the bed and began to think crankily, and somehow thought of Wu Tong, the injury on his body was strange, and he had never seen it: "System, did you notice his injury when I was eating with Wu Tong?"

This is exactly what the system is going to say to the host. Wu Tong's injuries were not ordinary injuries, he had been invaded by an evil creature called Demon. ”

"What is Spirit?"

"How do you say that?" the system summed up the language: "You also know that the earth is invaded by countless meteorites every year, and these meteorites are ordinary meteorites placed on the scientific and technological plane, and at most they are taken by scientists to study. This is the martial arts plane, so meteorites are endowed with various attributes, most of which contain iron, and are called extraterrestrial meteorites or extraterrestrial irons, isn't your burial snow made of meteoric iron?"

"I know that," he continued. ”

"There is also a part of gold, known as Extraterrestrial Essence Gold, and there are many magical metals, such as Hei Han, which makes a peerless sword, Bai Lu, who makes a snow-drinking mad sword, etc., which are collectively known as metal meteorites. In addition to metal meteorites, there are also meteorites that do not contain metals at all, which are called stony meteorites in the technological plane, and the composition of these meteorites is similar to that of stones on Earth, so they are not of much use. But there are exceptions to everything, and there are some special existences in stone meteorites, and some of these special stone meteorites are no worse than black cold and white dew. ”

"Like a demon?"

"Yes, there is a meteorite in the stone meteorite called the Blood Heart Jade, although the Blood Heart Jade has jade in its name, it is actually a ball of blood-red energy. If it is integrated into a weapon, even a mortal soldier can become a peerless divine weapon; if it is implanted in a plant, no matter how ordinary a plant is, it can become a spiritual grass, which will not be inferior to a 10,000-year-old ginseng; if it is fed to an animal, it can help the animal open up its spiritual intelligence, so that the animal can also cultivate like a human; and if a person swallows the blood heart jade, it will be easy to cut the marrow, and even a fool can become a super genius.
