Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 447 Fang Qiong's Change (4000)

In Wu Liang's impression, there are two kinds of ancient characters outside the region.

One is called "Proto-Canaanite" and the other is called "Phoenician".

The "original Canaanite alphabet" is earlier than the "Phoenician alphabet", and it is the product of the same era as the "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" of the Chinese Dynasty. They all belong to the category of pictographs, and usually use some simple pictographic symbols to represent some specific things. .

For example, the "Z" that Wu Liang saw in the stele just now is usually used to refer to "pry" or "arrow".

And the lowercase "K" with left and right reversed can be used to refer to a person's "palm"...

The "Phoenician alphabet" is a perfected text based on the "original Canaanite alphabet", and it can be regarded as the successor of the "original Canaanite alphabet".

It can be seen from the names that these two ancient characters from outside the territory and the ancient characters of the Chinese dynasty have gone on completely different evolutionary routes since the era of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions".

Because they are all called "letters", not directly called "characters" like the ancient Chinese characters.

The two completely different evolutionary routes have gradually formed the language and writing systems of the Eastern and Western generations with different styles.

The "original Canaanite alphabet" and "Phoenician alphabet" evolved into the Hebrew alphabet, Arabic alphabet, Greek alphabet, and Latin alphabet, and they were continuously integrated during the evolution process, eventually forming the Western language and writing system. Well-known English, German, French, Russian, Arabic...these all belong to this kind of language and writing system.

Even Uyghur, Mongolian, and Manchu belong to this system.

The characteristic of this language and writing system is that these "letters" usually need to be combined to form a vocabulary to express the corresponding specific meaning, and the pronunciation of the "letter" sometimes needs to be inferred in combination with other "letters" in the vocabulary. When it appears, it often has no specific meaning.

The ancient characters of the Celestial Dynasty gradually evolved into different strokes, and were further improved on the basis of pictographs, forming a unique language system in the world.

Let's use a simple analogy, such as expressing the meaning of "person".

The Chinese language evolved from the ancient characters of the Celestial Dynasty can write the word "person" with one stroke and one stroke.

English, which evolved from the "original Canaan alphabet" and "Phoenician alphabet", will be expressed with a combination of letters such as "person".

French is "personne".

Russian is "человек".

From such a comparison, it can be clearly seen that our Chinese still has some shadows of pictographs, while the language and writing systems evolved from the "primitive Canaanite alphabet" and "Phoenician alphabet" have basically become A combination of letters with different characteristics.

Of course, this is only the shallowest level of comparison.

If you continue to compare in depth, the difference will only be bigger and dazzling, which is why there have been many differences between Eastern and Western cultures in later generations, which have caused many translators a headache.

Therefore, there are similar translation stalks between "Water Margin" and "Story of One Hundred and Five Men and Three Women".

Regrettably.

Wu Liang didn't have a very deep understanding of the ancient characters outside the region, so he had no way to interpret the characters on the two huge stone tablets, and it was even difficult to guess the contents, so he could only see if Yu Ji had the ability.

"This...forgive me for my ignorance, I have never seen this kind of writing before, so I really can't help you understand it."

Yu Ji wrinkled his old face and looked closely for a long time. It could be seen that he really wanted to show his hand in front of everyone, but in the end he shook his head helplessly and said so.

"Then we have to trouble you two to copy these words first."

Wu Liang was not too disappointed, and then said to Ji and Zhuge Liang, "If we can go out, there are many merchants and residents from different places in the city of Jianni, and if we take them to see, there may be unexpected gains .”

"Young Master (Brother Talented) said yes."

When the two heard the words, they immediately took out the silk they carried with them, and each of them carefully copied the words engraved on a stone tablet.

While waiting, Wu Liang came to Bai Jingjing, who was in charge of taking care of Fang Qiong, and asked with a smile: "Jingjing, Fang Qiong still hasn't responded at all?"

"If there was, I would have told you a long time ago, and why did you come to ask me?"

Bai Jingjing rolled her eyes, and then said with a pair of empty almond eyes, "You're clearly trying to find something to do with me, don't think I can't see it, just tell it straight, what's going on in your heart?"

"Where is it? Can't I think of something good?"

Wu Liang smiled and denied, "I just suddenly thought, I have done so many shameful things in my life, if one day I quit this job, even if there is no retribution, there must be someone If you don’t want me to live, then I have to find a paradise far away from right and wrong to hide in order to protect myself.”

"You still have some self-knowledge."

A strange look flashed across Bai Jingjing's eyes, but she mocked in a very shameless manner.

"So what do you think of this place?"

Wu Liang didn't care either, and continued to ask with a smile.

"This place?"

Bai Jingjing was slightly stunned, and after pondering for a while, she answered seriously, "Although this place is indeed a place away from right and wrong, it's hard to say if it's not a paradise. I always feel that this is not a place where living people live at all. , not to mention that we don't even know how to get in, and we don't know how to get out..."

"You misunderstood. I didn't mean this strange world. I can't stay in this place for a day. I mean the Western Regions."

Wu Liang interrupted Bai Jingjing and said, "For me, the Central Plains is a place of right and wrong. If I leave the Central Plains, no one will know who I am, and no one will know what I have done. If someone does not want me to live , is beyond reach."

"If you say that, this place can be regarded as a good place to retreat."

Bai Jingjing nodded and said.

"So, will you come with me?"

Wu Liang suddenly asked another question that Bai Jingjing hadn't had time to think about.

"?"

Bai Jingjing glanced at Wu Liang in surprise, not understanding what kind of illness he was suffering from and why he suddenly mentioned this.

"Humans are social animals after all, and they always hope to be accompanied by people they know."

Wu Liang grabbed Bai Jingjing's shoulders, glanced at the others, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "I've been a ghost before, and I know that they all have their own destiny and mission, and it only happened when they met me." To tell you the truth, I'm not sure whether their fate and mission will get back on track, but if one day they leave me under the influence of fate, I won't blame them...Only you , I can't see through the fate and mission in the ghost form, and maybe you are the only one who can accompany me until death, so...hehe."

Wu Liang's so-called "Qi Qi" is naturally his understanding of history.

Dian Wei, Zhuge Liang, and Yu Ji are all characters who have appeared in history books. It was Wu Liang who used means to change their destiny, and also changed part of history in a disguised form.

As for Bai Jingjing, she is a descendant of a little-known tomb keeper.

This is indeed different from that of Dian Wei et al.

There is another person who is different from Dian Wei and others.

Yang Wanli.

This guy has never appeared in the history books. Although Wu Liang certainly changed their fate, how much and what exactly has changed is a big question mark.

and so.

In the dead of night, Wu Liang would also be afraid and lonely. He always had a feeling that he was just an outsider, a small bug in the wheel of history.

These half-truths and half-false words are the result of Wu Liang's desire to find someone to confide in, but he doesn't know how to confide in him. He is just taking this opportunity to find someone to talk to, which is considered a necessity. vent.

By the way, let me tug at Bai Jingjing's heartstrings.

He really liked this girl, and the longer he was together, the more he liked this girl, and he really hoped that when he had to retire, when he was over fifty, he would have her by his side.

"..."

I don't know if Bai Jingjing understood the deep meaning of his words, but she didn't resist Wu Liang's intimacy in public as usual, she was silent for a while, a blush silently floated on her cheeks, she lowered her head and used her fingers to touch him. With her hair on her head, she whispered, "Although you can't see through me, I am very clear about my mission. Since I am a follower of the Bai family, as long as the Suihou bead is still in your hands for a day, even if the ends of the earth Can not leave an inch, unless I die before you."

"Jingjing, thank you..."

Wu Liang suddenly felt much more at ease, as if he had found his roots in this strange world.

Suihouzhu, no one can take it away from me!

But next second.

An ominous premonition resurfaced in Wu Liang's heart, and he immediately slapped himself lightly.

What is this place!
Why did I get such a big FLAG immediately in such a nervous way? This is a mortal rhythm in the horror movies of later generations. What kind of nerves am I on? !

Bah bah bah!Bah bah bah bah bah bah!

……

After Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang had transcribed the words on the stele.

Wu Liang and the others continued on the road, and this time they had only been walking for about two hours. Bai Jingjing ran to report a new situation to Wu Liang: "Fang Qiong finally made a move!"

Although Fang Qiong still didn't wake up.

But under her tightly closed eyelids, her eyeballs were constantly turning, and very frequently, as if she was having a nightmare that she couldn't wake up on her own.

Wu Liang immediately came to Fang Qiong's side, trying to wake her up by using the "returning incense" and "pinching people".

This method still didn't work, so he had to lift Fang Qiong's eyelids with his hands.

It was Wu Liang who discovered that Fang Qiong's pupils shrunk very small and kept trembling, and even without the eyelids covering her eyes, her eyeballs were still moving chaotically.

Wu Liang immediately tried to use the light of the Suihou Pearl to illuminate Fang Qiong's eyeballs.

This is a commonly used method in medical examinations in later generations. Although Wu Liang is not a medical student and doesn't know what pathology can be seen by this method, he knows that Fang Qiong can use this method to judge whether Fang Qiong responds to light.

When Sui Houzhu approached Fang Qiong's eyeballs, Fang Qiong's pupils did not change significantly.

But her eyeballs suddenly stopped moving, as if she felt the light completely.

And when Wu Liang tried to move the Suihou bead again, her eyeballs would slowly turn along with the movement of the Suihou bead, as if she was following the light...

"..."

Everyone didn't quite understand what this meant, and Wu Liang didn't quite understand either.

But one thing is certain, Fang Qiong is not completely insensible to external stimuli at this moment, at least light stimulation is still effective for her, and she should still have some minimum awareness.

at this time.

"Shh!"

Fang Qiong's arms shot up suddenly like a corpse, and both hands grabbed the Suihou Pearl with great precision!

"!!!"

Wu Liang didn't expect Fang Qiong to have such a sudden reaction, he broke out in a cold sweat instantly, subconsciously retreated and immediately let go of Hou Zhu.

But Fang Qiong held Sui Hou Zhu firmly in his hands like iron tongs.

"Be careful, son!"

Seeing this, Dian Wei and Yang Wanli rushed up to protect Wu Liang.

"I'm fine..."

Wu Liang looked at the back of his hand, Fang Qiong's nails scratched him, but fortunately they didn't scratch the skin, but left a few rather obvious red marks.

And look at Fang Qiong.

She just lay flat on the carriage like that, without Wu Liang pulling her eyelids, her eyes were closed, but her two arms kept a vertically raised posture, with both hands holding Suihou Pearl stiffly, and then she stopped Nothing has changed.

So waited for a while.

"Dianwei, Yang Wanli, you two will protect the law for me, I will go and get the Suihou Pearl back."

Wu Liang evened his breathing, seeing that Fang Qiong hadn't made any new movements, he finally bit the bullet and said to Dian Wei and Yang Wanli.

"Young master, why don't I come?"

Dian Wei blocked Wu Liang.

"Young master, I can come too!"

Yang Wanli also volunteered.

"With the protection of the two of you, it's fine."

Wu Liang glanced at them, pressed Dianwei's arm still, and walked forward cautiously.

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli didn't say much when they saw Wu Liang's insistence. They just ran to the sides of the carriage first from left to right to ensure that no matter what happened to Fang Qiong, they would be able to restrain Fang Qiong immediately so that he could not Hurt Wu Liang in the slightest.

Come so close.

Wu Liang had already put on his gloves, and slowly extended his hand towards Suihou Zhu.

Fang Qiong didn't make any changes.

Wu Liang finally caught Suihou Zhu.

Fang Qiong still didn't make any changes.

But when Wu Liang tried to take the Suihou bead out from between her hands, she felt an extremely strong resistance. She was struggling to hold on to the Suihou bead, and the muscles in her arms and hands trembled slightly as a result. Like a drowning man grabbing the only life-saving straw.
