Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth post station and people without shadows
Just as the third team members approached the building with lights shining in the shadows, they suddenly found that there were several figures in the distance from the other direction of the sandy road that were not clearly visible, and were slowly moving towards the building.
Move forward.
It was just because the direction was exactly opposite to them and the distance was far, and the world in this place was gloomy and there was no moonlight shining, so they could not see the specific appearance of the opposite side, and could only see some blurred figures of human figures.
"Someone?"
Lian Peng was the first to speak in surprise.
He didn't expect that the first foggy world he experienced was the kind of human beings.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jingfei shook his head and said:
"It's not certain whether you are a human being. It's still too early to draw a conclusion!"
After getting in touch with the ancients, he often reads some ancient Chinese practice books. Gao Jingfei, a person who has never been to college in his two lives, becomes a bit literary when speaking, and some ancient vernacular words appear from time to time, but modern people also
Just understand it completely.
In fact, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, modern people would not have any obstacles to language communication when they traveled to ancient times, because the great melee that almost broke through the Central Plains before the Yuan Dynasty and the large population migration in various places after the Yuan Dynasty were all
This has resulted in a fusion of population and language, especially in most dialects in Jiangbei region, which are not much different.
After the Jin Dynasty entered the pass, massacres broke out in various places and the population migration of Sichuan and Sichuan in Huguang also led to the fact that Huguang dialect and Sichuan dialect were very similar. The Beijing Mandarin has been passed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present and has not changed much.
After that, although the Jin people brought some Jurchen words after entering the pass, they were like a bottle of ink poured into a pond and were absorbed and fused.
Therefore, the pronunciation of modern Jinling dialect and Yanjing dialect is the same in many places. For example, the Jinling people are one of the rare areas in the southern region where they speak with an Erhua sound.
This means that in ancient times when you started in the Ming Dynasty, even in places like western Guangdong, there will be scholars, scholars, scholars, businessmen, and officials who will speak official language, so you will not be in the dilemma of no one to communicate with.
.
As for before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the accent of Zhongtu was more similar to the medieval sound, and was not exactly the same as the dialects of modern north and south.
Gao Jingfei had seen a so-called "intellectual" who was engaged in music on the Internet in popular science. People in the Tang Dynasty all spoke Cantonese. This is actually a big mistake. If you want to say that Cantonese is closer to the accent of ancient times, it is undoubtedly
During the Song Dynasty, it was only close, and there were still some differences.
According to the study of the Tang Dynasty, it is actually more similar to the accent of Fujian. For example, since ancient times, Quanzhou has been a sea trade city that travels to the Dongyang Islands. The islanders usually land in from there to send waiters and merchants to the Tang Dynasty, and they have learned to have the characteristics of Fujian.
The Tang Yin, until a hundred years ago, the upper class of the island country still retained the custom of saying Tang Yin as noble, so according to research, the accents of Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas close to Fujian were closer to the real Tang Yin.
As for how many people the "intellectual" misled, Gao Jingfei didn't know. He would not agree with the other party's point of view anyway, because that person also said that the environment in India is very good and it is like heaven.
As the team approached, the old team members who had trained a pair of spiritual eyes could already see the real situation of the building opposite.
This is a wooden building with an ancient appearance. There is a courtyard in front of it, with a pole two meters high standing, and a blurred linen with invisible handwriting and patterns hanging on it. It looks like a flag.
There is a shabby straw mat pergola in front of the yard, with stakes for people to tie mules and horses on one side, and a rough stone pier that seems to be resting.
In addition to a wooden main hall in the yard, there are seven or eight thatched huts behind it.
The two lanterns hanging at the door emitted a dim light. Although they were not very eye-catching, they became more and more conspicuous in this gloomy and dark world.
The brothers Gao Jingfei and Gao Jingkun, who had a lot of understanding of the ancient times, immediately realized that this place was probably a place similar to an inn.
"Station?"
After hearing Gao Jingkun's words, others were a little curious about how he saw it. In everyone's impression, this place is more like the kind of ancient teahouses and restaurants in movies and TV dramas where they can stay in restaurants.
Gao Jingkun explained: "The reason I don't think this is a place like a tea shop is because if it is such a place, flags will inevitably be drawn."
The so-called banner is something like a modern signboard. Some font sizes representing the types of shops' business are written on it, such as "wine" and "tea", and it usually does not have one side. There are also sayings like the past.
If the chef in a restaurant is good at craftsmanship and famous, he will hang many banners.
Gao Jingfei also said: "The yard here is a bit too deserted, more like an inn run by the government, rather than a shop that opens to welcome guests."
"Of course, because post stations and other things will also charge money to serve the people, it is similar to those in rural teahouses and restaurants. It is difficult for people who don't understand it to distinguish just by looking at the appearance."
Everyone suddenly realized that the captain was worthy of being the captain, and the consultant was worthy of being the consultant. It was indeed a family background.
In fact, Gao Jingfei and the others also went to the ancient world in the late Jin Dynasty and lived for a while before they understood these things. Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to study this?
It is estimated that only those experts and scholars who specialize in ancient folk customs will be interested in this.
Guo Shihong suddenly said:
"Since there is a station and there are people just now, isn't it said that this is a world similar to the last time Captain and Xiaofei experienced?"
At this time, Gao Jingfei shook his head, pointed to the building that was suspected to be a station, and said:
"I'm afraid not, look at those people!"
Everyone looked over there, and the distance was only a few hundred steps. The normal people could see blurred faces with their eyesight. They were all selected elites of the Public Security Bureau, and their eyesight reached the standard of enlistment and joining the army, even if they were a little bit
The myopic civilian Qin Linming, a civilian, has a greater vision than a modern person whose strength generally declines after wearing his eyes.
"That's it?"
Everyone saw three or two figures wearing simple linen clothes walking towards the gate of the station. Some were tied up with thatch on their heads, some were simply disheveled, and all were barefoot.
This looks worse than modern beggars, and they do not have any characteristics of modern civilization, so they are obviously more like ancient refugees or beggars.
"I understand, they have no shadow!"
A newcomer who is good at shooting as a team sniper suddenly whispered in surprise.
He is worthy of being a sniper. He can control his own volume when he is so surprised and does not make loud noises to attract the attention of the opponent.
After his reminder, others also noticed that the three figures seemed to be blank.
Gao Jingfei glanced at this new teammate with appreciation and said:
"Brother Chen is right. These people should not be humans, or they are not living people!"
Everyone can understand this, because according to folk legends, people without shadows can only be dead people, that is, legendary ghosts.
Everyone is a member of the Special Affairs Bureau who knows the existence of ghosts, and has even experienced it personally many times. Even new members have read the case files provided by the bureau and understand what they will face after joining this special department.
But this is a ghost?
When we found the figure on the opposite side was a bit strange, although everyone felt a little sudden, they were all ready for battle.
Although Gao Jingfei felt that the three figures opposite him with relatively weak in his spiritual vision could not pose any threat to the team, he did not stop his teammates from being cautious.
After all, in a dangerous and unfamiliar world of fog, staying vigilant is the best way to live for the long term.
