Origin Chapter 50: Call of the Ancients
Wu Zhongyuan's excitement aroused Wang Jize's curiosity, so he hurried over and said, "What is it written, show me."
"It's really not a love letter." Wu Zhongyuan handed the two pieces of paper to Wang Jize. Wang Jize's actions showed that he had never seen it before, and such an honest person couldn't make him suspicious.
Wang Jize took the two pieces of paper and read them eagerly, but soon he found that he couldn't understand, "What the **** is this?"
"The words printed on some ancient stone tablets." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"Oh." Wang Jize believed it, put the two pieces of paper back in his heart, and went back to his bed to fiddle with the tablet.
Wu Zhongyuan was very excited and eager, and even before the lights in the dormitory went out, he began to compare and sort. The first thing he did was to verify each other. Some of the words he wrote to Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying were repeated. The translation results are the same, which means that neither side has deceived or fabricated.
Wu Zhongyuan was very satisfied with the results of the comparison, but he was also very worried. He was satisfied because the translation results of the two sides were roughly similar. The worry is because there are many small discrepancies in the translation of the same text between the two parties. This discrepancy is not because of one party's intentional actions, but because of academic differences.
The ancient script is different from the current script. The number of the ancient script is relatively small, and the expression needs to be combined with the environment and social structure at that time, as well as many factors such as the relationship between them. This situation is like the current "roll". If It is said to the same sex, supplemented by a harsh tone, which represents anger. If it is said to the opposite sex, supplemented by a coquettish tone, it represents shyness and joy.
This feature of ancient writing makes it difficult to translate accurately, and the direct consequence is that it cannot accurately interpret the words written by Wu Zhui, and these words written by Wu Zhui are crucial clues. Any discrepancy and misunderstanding may result in twice the result with half the effort, or even in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, these words written by Wu Zhui are all sentences, and some words can be comprehensively interpreted in conjunction with the preceding and following words or the preceding and following sentences, which can reduce the interpretation error to a certain extent, but correspondingly, it will also increase the interpretation. Difficulty and interpretation time.
The translation results given by the two are all single and disordered words. If you want to interpret them, you need to arrange and restore them in the order of the original text. The words are picked out one by one, and the progress is very slow.
However, any progress at this time is an essential advancement. After half an hour, the first sentence written by Wu Zhui was interpreted. It can only be interpreted roughly, not very accurate. It roughly means, 'I can't hold on for long, and I also know that you don't understand the language of your hometown. I can only write down the news and leave it to you to interpret it later. ’
There are more than 40 modern characters in this passage, but Wu Zhui's original text has only a dozen characters. This is also the difference between ancient languages and modern languages. At that time, the number of characters was small, and each character represented a relatively different meaning. General, can pass false, can also be used in general.
Seeing that there was substantial progress, Wu Zhongyuan was eager to continue sorting it out, but he held back. Both Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying knew that the words that Wu Zhui had translated for him were what Wu Zhui said to him. There are clues to his return, and he can even guess that he must be impatiently sorting out and interpreting at this moment. What's more, he may even guess that he may not go to class tomorrow, or even if he is in class, he will look like he is not getting enough sleep.
Don't let them guess what they want to do, let them be puzzled, otherwise they are likely to take further action.
After taking photos of Wang Xinran's two pieces of paper, Wu Zhongyuan pulled the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep. He had to continue the class the next day.
He went to the classroom relatively late, so he did so on purpose so that both Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying would be there when he got to the classroom.
The two of them were indeed there when he went to the classroom, and they were still sitting in the same position. When they saw him come in, Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying tilted their heads to look at him at the same time, to be precise, the expression on his face.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying with a friendly look, but when he looked at Wang Xinran, his eyes were not so friendly.
The change in his eyes was noticed by the two of them keenly. Zhao Ying frowned and looked at Wang Xinran, while Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan sat down on the seat, took out the book, and then took out the two pieces of paper that Wang Xinran had given him last night and threw them to Wang Xinran.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's bad attitude, Wang Xinran was puzzled and dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan's tone was very cold, "What kind of people are you above? Why do you always like to be smart?"
Wang Xinran didn't know what to do, and his tone was no longer tough, "What's the matter?"
"I can tell if it's true or false." Wu Zhongyuan was expressionless.
Wang Xinran was stunned, Wu Zhongyuan's meaning was obvious, and there was a problem with the translation results they gave. Since there was a problem before, she couldn't guarantee that the translation results given above must be true this time. .
After recovering, Wang Xinran asked in a low voice, "Did you make a mistake? There shouldn't be a problem this time. It's impossible to translate 100% of the text at that time, so don't be suspicious of your neighbor. ."
"I wish I was Tomoko's suspected neighbor." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"Don't worry, wait for me to confirm." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan did not respond.
"I'd rather be a real villain than a hypocrite." Zhao Ying sneered contemptuously.
Wang Xinran could not hear that Zhao Ying was mocking her. She was much more aggressive than Zhao Ying, and immediately counterattacked, "Shut up your dog's mouth."
"Humph." Zhao Ying tilted her head aside and replied, "Bichi."
"You stinky son of a bitch." Wang Xinran stood up.
"Let them show some sincerity." Wu Zhongyuan said.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan opened his mouth, the two of them couldn't quarrel anymore. Wang Xinran sat back in her seat angrily, and Zhao Ying showed a disdainful sneer.
After that, the class was normal. Wu Zhongyuan didn't do anything. He just took the class. When he encountered a course he was interested in, he listened attentively, and when he was not interested, he was dazed.
However, whether he was listening intently or being dazed, he pretended to do it. The purpose was naturally to confuse Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying, including his actions before class, but also to confuse them and make them mistake him for him. The translation and collation of is temporarily unavailable.
After class in the evening, he didn't go back to the dormitory immediately, but went out to buy some fruit. In fact, he wanted to go back to the dormitory immediately, but he couldn't let the two see his eagerness.
Returning to the dormitory, I immediately continued to organize, with no distractions, full attention, and fast advancement. The translations appeared one by one, which roughly means 'your father is our Da Wu, your mother is a great noble of the Li family, because of you , we have encountered a huge disaster, all the Wu of our own family have died in battle, you are the only one with the blood of Wu, you are the last hope, we think you can also enter the palace of your own family and be guided by your ancestors, Gain the great power of your own clan, if you can't enter our palace, our remaining wizards and warriors will lead you to find the lost temple, help you meet the noble dragon, hope you can gain the power of the dragon. ’
After the first three pages were translated, it was already past two in the morning. Wu Zhongyuan paused the translation and closed his eyes to sort out the ideas in his mind.
Although the translation is not very smooth, the general meaning is that it came out. Some of the content is roughly in line with what he had guessed before, but there are some things that he did not think of before. His father was the king of a tribe, and Wu should be the king. It means that Da Wu is the king. Her mother was a great noble of the Li nationality, and the Li nationality should belong to the Chiyou family. The great noble was a specific title in ancient times, and it might be a princess or a saint.
The combination of father and mother should not be recognized by the two tribes. The reason why father's tribe suffered disaster is also because of him. Besides him, father's tribe should have some Xiao Wu, that is, Xiao Wang, These people could be his uncles or his brothers, but they all died in battle.
Now he is the only person who can enter the palace of his own family. The reason why he is possible is because he is a descendant of mixed blood of two races, not as pure as other Wu bloodlines.
If he can enter the palace of his clan, he can get the help and guidance of his ancestors who have died, and obtain the huge power exclusive to his clan. If he cannot enter the palace of his clan because his blood is not pure enough, the remaining wizards and warriors in the clan will lead him to find the temple where no one knows where, and help him see the dragon and gain the power of the dragon. In ancient writings, Yamato God is the same word, and how to understand it requires coherent sentences.
The next day, class as usual, meals as usual, self-study as usual, and go back in the evening to continue translating and arranging.
There are no punctuation marks between ancient characters. Wu Zhui will use large gaps to separate small paragraphs, and large paragraphs will be divided into pages. At nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Zhongyuan translated the fourth and fifth pages. The content, roughly means 'We've been looking for you, but we don't know where you are, didn't expect me to find you, I'm happy, unfortunately I'm dying soon, can't take you to find and wake up the wizard, I put Write down where the wizard slept and how to wake him up, you go find him and he will help you go back...'
