Origin

Chapter 50 The Call of the Ancients



Wu Zhongyuan's excitement aroused Wang Jize's curiosity, and he hurriedly came over, "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 peeked at them before. Such an honest person couldn't let him doubt them.

Wang Jize took the two pieces of paper and read them eagerly, but soon he found that he couldn't understand them, "What the hell 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 disinterest, and went back to his bed to tinker with his tablet computer.

Wu Zhongyuan was so excited and anxious that he didn't even have time to wait for the lights to go out in the dormitory before he started comparing and organizing. The first thing he did was to verify each other. Part of the text he gave to Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying was repeated. If this part of the repeated text was translated by both parties, If they are the same, it means that neither party has committed any fraud or fraud.

The results of the comparison made Wu Zhongyuan very satisfied, but also very worried. He was satisfied because the translation results of the two sides were roughly similar for these words. The worry is that there are many minor discrepancies in the translation of the same text by both parties. Such discrepancies are not caused intentionally by one party, but are academic differences.

Ancient writing is different from modern writing. The number of ancient writing is small. The expression needs to be combined with the environment and social structure at that time, as well as the relationship between each other and many other factors. This situation is like the current "gun". If it is a conflict of the same sex, Said, supplemented by a stern tone, it represents anger. If it is said to the opposite sex, with a coquettish tone, it represents shyness and joy.

This characteristic of ancient writing makes it difficult to achieve accurate translation. The direct consequence is that the words written by Wu Zhui cannot be accurately interpreted. The words written by Wu Zhui are crucial clues. Any discrepancies Deviations in understanding and understanding may result in getting half the result with twice the result, or even going in the opposite direction.

Fortunately, the words written by Wu Zhui are all in sentences. Some words can be comprehensively interpreted by combining the preceding and following words or sentences. This can reduce the interpretation error to a certain extent, but correspondingly, it will also increase the difficulty and difficulty of interpretation. time.

The translation results given by the two are single and unordered words. If you want to interpret them, you need to arrange and restore them in the order of the original text. The original text has more than 900 words, and each word needs to be extracted from more than 200 words. Picking them out one by one, progress was very slow.

However, any progress at this time is an essential advancement. Half an hour later, the first sentence Wu Zhui wrote was interpreted. It can only be roughly interpreted, and it cannot be very precise. It roughly means, 'I insist. Soon, I also know that you cannot understand the language of my hometown, so I can only write down the message and leave it to you to interpret it later. ’

There are more than forty modern characters in this passage, but Wu Zhui’s original text only has a dozen characters. This is also the difference between ancient languages ​​and modern languages. At that time, the number of characters was small, and the meaning of each character was relatively general. Tong holiday can also be used in general.

Seeing that there was substantial progress, Wu Zhongyuan was eager to continue organizing, but he held back. Both Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying knew that the words they translated for him were what Wu Zhui said to him, and they also knew that they contained his words. From the clues of the return, you can even guess that he must be eager to sort out and interpret it at the moment. What's more, you can even guess that he may not go to class tomorrow, or even if he attends class, he looks like he doesn't have enough sleep.

But you can't let them guess what they want to do, you have to make them confused, otherwise they are likely to take further actions.

After taking photos of Wang Xinran’s two pieces of paper,

Wu Zhongyuan pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep. He had to continue class the next day.

He went to the classroom late, deliberately so that both Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying would be there when he got to the classroom.

When he went to the classroom, the two of them were indeed there, still sitting in the same position as before. Seeing him come in, Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying tilted their heads to look at him at the same time, to be precise, they looked at the expression on his face.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying with a friendly look, but when he looked at Wang Xinran, his look was not so friendly.

Both of them were keenly aware of the change in his eyes. Zhao Ying frowned and looked at Wang Xinran, while Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan sat down from his seat, took out the book, and then took out the two pieces of paper that Wang Xinran sent last night and threw them to Wang Xinran.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's bad attitude, Wang Xinran was confused and dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan's tone was very cold, "Who are the people above you? Why do you always like to be smart?"

Wang Xinran didn't understand what was going on, and his tone was no longer tough, "What's the matter?"

"I can tell whether it's true or false." Wu Zhongyuan said expressionlessly.

Wang Xinran was stunned. Wu Zhongyuan's meaning was very obvious. There was something wrong with the translation result they gave. Since there had been a problem before, she could not guarantee that the translation result given this time would be true.

After coming back to his senses, Wang Xinran asked in a low voice, "Did you make a mistake? There should be no problem this time. The text at that time cannot be translated 100%, so don't be suspicious of your neighbor."

"I wish I were a wise neighbor of Tomoko." 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 couldn't help but tell that Zhao Ying was mocking her. She was much more aggressive than Zhao Ying, so she immediately fought back, "Shut your stupid mouth."

"Humph." Zhao Ying tilted her head to the side and replied, "Bichi."

"You bastard." Wang Xinran stood up.

"Let them show some sincerity." Wu Zhongyuan said.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan started talking, the two of them stopped arguing. Wang Xinran sat back in his seat angrily, and Zhao Ying gave a disdainful sneer.

After that, it was normal class. Wu Zhongyuan did nothing but attend class. He would concentrate on the lectures when he encountered the courses he was interested in, and he would be in a daze when he encountered the courses he was not interested in.

However, whether he was listening attentively or in a daze, he was all pretending. The purpose was naturally to confuse Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying, including his previous actions before class, and also to confuse them and make them mistakenly think that he was translating and organizing This is temporarily unavailable.

After class in the evening, he did not 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 of them see his eagerness.

After returning to the dormitory, I immediately continued to organize, without any distractions, with full concentration, and the progress was very fast. The translations appeared one by one, which roughly meant: 'Your father is our Da Wu, and your mother is a noble person of the Li nationality. Because of you, we met. At the time of the great disaster, all the Wus of the Wu clan have died in the battle. You are the only one with Wu bloodline. You are the last hope. We think you can also enter the palace of your clan, receive the guidance of your ancestors, and gain the power of your clan. If you are unable to enter our palace, our remaining wizards and warriors will take you to find the lost temple and help you meet the noble dragon. I hope you can gain the power of the dragon. ’

After translating the first three pages, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Wu Zhongyuan paused the translation and closed his eyes to sort out the ideas in his mind.

Although the translation was not very smooth, the general meaning came out. Some of the contents were roughly consistent with what he had guessed before, but there were some things that he had not thought of before. His father was the king of a tribe, and Wu should mean king. Da Wu is the king. Her mother is a noblewoman of the Li ethnic group, and the Li people should be the Chiyou clan. A nobleman is a specific title in ancient times. She may be a princess or a saint.

The union of father and mother should not be recognized by the two tribes. The reason why his father's tribe suffered disasters was also because of him. In addition to him, there should be some Xiao Wu, also known as Xiao Wang, in his father's tribe. These people may It might have been his uncle or his brother, but in any case these people died in the battle.

Now he is the only person who can enter the palace of his own clan. The reason why it is possible is because he is a mixed descendant of the two clans and is not as pure as other Wu bloodlines.

If he can enter his clan's palace, he can get help and guidance from his clan's dead ancestors and gain immense power exclusive to his clan. If his bloodline is not pure enough and he cannot enter the clan's palace, the remaining wizards and warriors in the clan will lead him to find a temple that no one knows where, and help him meet the dragon and gain its power. In ancient texts, Yamato is the same word. As for how to understand it, it requires coherent sentences.

The next day, I had classes as usual, had meals as usual, went to self-study as usual, and went back in the evening to continue translating and organizing.

There were no punctuation marks between ancient texts. Wu Zhui would separate small paragraphs with larger gaps, and large paragraphs would be divided into pages directly. At nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Zhongyuan translated the contents of the fourth and fifth pages. It roughly means 'We have been looking for you, but we don't know where you are. I didn't expect that I could find you. I am very happy. Unfortunately, I am going to die soon and can't take you to find and wake up the wizard. I put the wizard to sleep. Write down the place and the way to wake him up, you go find him and he will help you go back...'
