The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 397 Which Paradise Designer?

In fact, Yang Lu has long had doubts about the language of the cultivation world.

The complexity of a language is often highly positively correlated with the advanced level of its civilization.

Although many people always like to talk about violent theories such as "ancient Chinese is profound and profound", not to mention the underlying logic of the three isolating languages, inflectional languages, and agglutinative languages ​​are different, and there is no comparison between them. Even Chinese It is really broad and profound, and the profound and profound is not ancient Chinese.

Modern Chinese can beat ancient Chinese in all aspects. Even in the ancient feudal dynasties, the ancient Chinese of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was far more diverse than that of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Without the intervention of external forces, the level of civilization can be roughly evaluated according to the complexity of the language.

And it is very easy to translate low-level civilization vocabulary into high-level civilization vocabulary, but it is very difficult to translate high-level civilization vocabulary into low-level civilization vocabulary.

Japanese is the most typical example.

In order to forcibly translate the images of more advanced Western civilization and Chinese civilization language into Japanese, the Japanese were forced to invent hiragana and katakana to literally translate concepts that did not exist in their own civilization language.

There are various indications that the language of the Kyushu cultivation world is actually quite advanced, and it is precisely because of this feature that Yang Lu can easily convert earth words such as "cultivation cheats" and "main god space" into cultivation language vocabulary.

However, there is one biggest problem.

Although the cultural prosperity of the comprehension world far exceeds that of the traditional agricultural society, it is still not as good as the earth in the information age.

Even if practitioners can use array means to realize complex functions such as instant messaging, the Internet, and even convolutional neural networks, since mortals cannot mobilize aura at will, there is no way to use these technologies on a large scale.

Therefore, the Kyushu cultivators who hold cultural dominance are always on the order of tens of millions, and the remaining tens of billions of mortals may add up to less than 10% of their cultural contributions to the realm of cultivation, which can only be regarded as a completely invalid population.

The ultra-rare attributes of cultivators also greatly restricted the prosperity of the cultural field in the realm of comprehension. President Lu was able to establish a sect in the literary world of Kyushu by plagiarizing the cool literature of the earth.

However, a barren culture gave birth to an extremely complex high-level language, which is undoubtedly a very unreasonable thing.

Considering that Kyushu's comprehension world had communicated with "outer worlds" such as the Demon Realm, Manghuang Territory, Extraterrestrial Battlefield, and Ancient Heavenly Court, Yang Lu also speculated that this might be the impact of alien civilizations on Kyushu's language. The collision between different foreign cultures can indeed increase the complexity of the language.

But this explanation also raises more questions.

For example, according to the records of comprehension practitioners, both the Demon Realm and the Manghuangyu seem to use a similar language to the Kyushu Cultivation Realm.

Although the language of Manghuangyu is somewhat different from the language of Kyushu, cultivators who have just arrived in Manghuangyu can still barely understand the conversations of the local aboriginal spirit tribe. It seems that the two languages ​​are derived from the same original language in different environments. developed separately.

This is even more bizarre.

Because Manghuangyu was discovered by Feisheng immortal Ma Tianyi 500 years ago, the difference between the local language and Kyushu language is similar to the different dialects of Chinese. The domain is a fragment of the ancient heaven, and the local monks are actually descendants of the ancient body refiners?
However, the fall of the ancient heaven was already a million years ago, and the independent evolution of millions of years should have brought about earth-shaking changes in the language.

Let alone millions of years, even a few hundred years can cause reproductive isolation of language.Modern Chinese can barely understand ancient Chinese characters, but they can't understand the pronunciation of ancient Chinese at all, and the characters of other ancient civilizations have even been lost directly.

However, according to the travel notes written by comprehension adventurers, and the knowledge passed down by the spirit clan of Kyushu, the evolution gap between the language of Manghuangyu and the language of cultivation world is only a dozen generations at most.

Then the question arises, why is there such a small difference between the language of Manghuangyu and the language of Kyushu?

Not to mention the weirdness in the evolution of Kyushu language, according to the characteristics of today's comprehension language, it can be seen that the language is not only very advanced, but also has very little ambiguity.

This kind of language feature also leads to the fact that residents of Kyushu rarely have misunderstandings when communicating. Even the repetition of the pronunciation of "he" and "she" in Chinese is rarely seen in the Kyushu cultivation world.

Since the owner of the Qiankun Ring is known as the park designer, he probably participated in the design of a certain park, so Yang Lu immediately asked: "Park designer? Which park designer is he?"

But the Nazgul's answer was silence.

In the end, Murong took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Yang, the ring spirit never takes the initiative to answer any questions about the park designer. I only know this name until now... By the way, it also said that I am the heir of the park designer." Woolen cloth."

"Are you the heir to the park designer?"

Murong nodded and said: "Anyway, that's what the ring spirit said. And it also emphasized that the park designers are not my biological parents... I don't know what this means, but I have shared my authority with you. If you have a question, you can ask it directly."

Seeing that Murong also looked dazed, Yang Lu looked at the Ring Spirit again, and began to swipe at it with information about the park designer.

But just like what Murong said just now, this big ball of light is so strict that it looks like an emotionless machine.

If it is an ordinary and insignificant question, it will answer it honestly, but as long as it mentions the park designer and its own background, it will instantly fall silent, no matter what tricky angle Yang Lu asks from, it is useless.

Only when Yang Lu mentioned the name "Paradise Designer" would the Ring Spirit repeatedly emphasize that he was the "great" Paradise Designer.

However, if one analyzes the name alone, the reference to this "Paradise" is too vague. Considering that the Void Illusion is like a paradise, does the so-called Paradise refer to this Void Illusion?
Although this guess is reasonable, Yang Lu always feels something is wrong.If the Void Illusion is the so-called Paradise, why didn't the original owner of the Qiankun Ring call himself the designer of the Void Illusion?

Isn't the name less ambiguous than Paradise Designer?
Although Yang Lu's question did not get an answer in the end, his questioning skills were still much higher than Murong's.

After realizing that the information about the park designer should be a taboo topic for ring spirits, Yang Lu changed his perspective and inquired about other things: "Qian Kun Jie, apart from the park designer and Murong, you used to have Has it been held by anyone else?"

This time, the big light ball really revealed more information: "This ring has been held by many owners in the past."

Hearing that the ring spirit brought up his former masters for the first time, Yang Lu couldn't help raising his brows and said, "Who are these former holders? It is absolutely impossible for them to be Jijis who can possess a magic weapon of this level. Nobody!"
