Chapter 118: Studying Ancient Chinese Characters

The troubles in the city still reached Ye Xing's ears. Looking at the two women who were lucky and the soldiers who were soldiered, he was not able to disturb their interest, so he decided to leave in a few days.

After many people's investigation, they also began to dig out Ye Xing's whereabouts. They knew that Ye Caizi had lived on a large ship recently, and they also learned that Ye Xing and the other two had gone to Guizang Academy to study. Many of them went to inquire, which made Mr. Yi have to close the door and thank the guests, and no students were accepted for the time being.

In fact, the tuition fees of Ye Xing's three people were enough for him to spend several years alone. Now he is too annoyed. Many people come to harass him constantly, so he simply closes the door and goes out for the time being.

Originally, he was about to leave soon, and Ye Xing also had a new idea. He studied the "Guizang Sutra" these ten days and always felt that it was necessary to study this scripture in depth. Of course, only this ancient cultural capital can have a better chance to learn these ancient knowledge, so it is very necessary to stay here for a while.

Ye Xing and the other two did not get off the boat, but the guards of all the soldiers did not have to guard the boat, and all went to the city to be casual.

Ye Xing took out the books he just bought and read them, which were mainly historical stories about Pingyuan County. After reading a few books, he found that there was an interesting thing. Most of the legendary stories of Song State really happened in or near Pingyuan City.

Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless legends here, many of which are myths and adventures of famous figures.

For example, thousands of years ago, there was a poor scholar who had been guided by an immortal. He was the first in high school and became a famous general. Someone disappeared after entering the mountain. It had been decades when he appeared again, but he himself only thought it was a few days. There were also many love stories of fox fairies and talented people, as well as countless gods and monsters.

Regarding these heroic anecdotes and gods and monsters, some people think they are miracles, some people think they are nonsense, and most people just think they are just talking about the topic. Folk stories are stories, and they yearn for them, but no one will really be serious.

Ye Xing is different. He has long known this. Any incident that can be circulated is definitely not a sensation, but a reason, and the reason is often true.

As a plain area that has been cultural center for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, it is of course a place where people are dazzling in their own style, and these stunning figures are of course for people to talk about forever. They are worshipped by heroes in any era.

People have the habit of beautifying heroes and have the need to deify heroes. Hougu is the most distinctive cultural phenomenon in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, there are real reasons behind the countless gods and monsters. Ye Xing analyzed that it is actually because there are really different people from the secular world, those cultivators who pursue the longevity of life.

There are extremely few practitioners of the world, and they are unwilling to involve mundane affairs based on the requirements of cultivation. They are also forced to interfere in matters in the secular world because of some compulsory rules.

Cultivators also need to find places with excellent spiritual energy to practice for a long time, so they will naturally stay away from the downtown mortals.

However, these cultivators do not eat the grains of the human world. They always come to ordinary people and occasionally do things that transcend ordinary people's thinking. This is the main source of the legend of gods and monsters.

Ye Xing took out the map of Song State and marked the place where the story happened one by one. He found that most of the anecdotes of the famous Song State occurred in Pingyuan County and Xiyuan County. There were many gods and monsters and were well-documented, while there were fewer other places and all the words used were rumors and all the rumors were rumors.

There are many places for the gods and monsters incidents, and there are more between the many mountains outside the city.

Ye Xing pointed out the nearby locations one by one and determined a few places worth visiting.

Ye Xing initially selected three locations: one is an ancient temple in Pingyuan City, which is said to have been around for tens of thousands of years. It was founded when Pingyuan City was built, and it is dedicated to ancient mythical figures; one is a religious temple on the east mountain ridge outside Pingyuan City, which is said to be the place where the Holy Saint Master and the Humanities Saint Ancestor were taught in the past, and is now called Shengren Ridge; the other is the state religion of Song State, the ancestral courtyard of Tiandaoism, and Taihua Mountain;

Ye Xing talked about his plan to the two girls. Of course, the two girls were extremely supportive. In fact, they didn't want to leave Pingyuan City so soon. For them, Pingyuan City is their girl's dream place.

The next morning, Ye Xing informed Shiwei of his whereabouts and went to the ancient temple in the city for a day, so that they did not have to follow him.

The three of them changed their clothes briefly and knew what Ye Xing looked like. Now many people in the city recognize him. Ye Xing disguised himself as a servant of two women and walked behind the two young ladies.

The two ladies were not so outstanding, and they even wore a headscarf, just like a little bit of an explosive daughter. They were a little red and green, and there was too much powder on their faces.

The ancient temple is in the center of Pingyuan City. The three of them came to Pingyuan City for more than ten days, but this was the first time they came here.

I thought the ancient temple should have a good ancient building, but when I went to see it, I realized that this was not the case at all. In fact, it was very new. After inquiring, I realized that it had been rebuilt many times. In fact, it had to be rebuilt once every few hundred years. The latest reconstruction was just a few decades ago.

Nothing can resist the destruction of time and years. This so-called ancient temple is a renovated fake antique.

Ye Xing bought some sacrifices and followed the two young ladies and entered the famous ancestral temple of the Song Dynasty.

The statues of the legendary figures of the Song Dynasty that created the world, there are also gods who created humans, gods who are in charge of the changes of the four seasons, and the ancestors of agriculture, industry and commerce.

Walking past a figure sculpture, the two women were just having fun, but Ye Xing carefully observed each sculpture and found that each of them was exquisite and vivid, and it was indeed exquisite craftsmanship. However, these sculptures have been beautified by craftsmen, which is almost the same as those of today.

In this world, there are only offerings, but there is no custom of burning incense, so it is peaceful.

When he came to the back hall, there were many old objects from the past. Ye Xing noticed that many old objects were engraved with words, and asked the guardians of the ancestral temple, and then he realized that these were written by the previous dynasty thousands of years ago.

Ye Xing found that the structure of these characters is very different from the current Song Dynasty text, but it is much similar to the characters in the deserted island, although the characters are still different.

Ye Xing gave a small ingot of silver to find out that some old scholars in the city might also know some ancient characters from the previous dynasty. However, the Song State has been established for three thousand years and has tried its best to erase the affairs of the previous dynasty, so no one can truly understand it now.

Only some people who like archaeological and archaeological research can find relevant knowledge from old books.

Ye Xing and the two women discussed it and came to a well-known ancient academy in the city to meet an old man. He was also one of the leaders of the rebuilding of the ancestral temple. Now the only remaining old scholar, Mr. Mu.

This old Mr. Mu has a gentle appearance, but he is in poor health, his hands and feet are a little trembling, but his words are clear.

When I saw Ye Xing and the other two asking for advice, I didn’t want my knowledge to decline. I took out the comparison of my decades of research results, ancient characters from the previous dynasty and current characters for Ye Xing to observe, which was as many as thousands of words.

But many words do not correspond one by one, so Mr. Mu also explained what he knew.

Ye Xing quickly copied it with paper and pen in front of him. He spent the whole afternoon. Although he didn't know the pronunciation, with this comparison, he could indeed understand some ancient books of the previous dynasty.

Mr. Mu told Ye Xing that ancient books in the previous dynasty were very rare now among the people, but there should be many collections of royal treasury in the capital, because of thousands of years of plundering, all of them were forced to be taken away.

There are also several elderly people in the city who share the same hobby, and they also have their own experiences and can also visit them.

Ye Xing gave a bottle of elixir to strengthen his body as a reward for the old man. He took dozens of paper and handwritten dictionary back on the ship.

Ye Xing returned to the boat, copied the dictionary again, and made it a real dictionary, and explained the explanations of many old men in small words.

The three of them spent ten days working, and during this period they searched for many old men to learn ancient characters, which all depended on Mr. Mu's recommendation letter.

When the three of them read this newly compiled dictionary, they felt very fulfilled. With the dictionary, they could compare and study ancient books.

There is a dictionary of the new and old characters in the past with nearly 6,000 characters. Ye Xing thinks that he can slowly interpret the Cong Zang scriptures in the future, although the texts in the scriptures are older.

But all this is not urgent, and the effect of the Tibetan scriptures in addition to regulating breathing is not in a hurry to know now, because there is no definite argument and no courage to practice randomly.
