After thinking for a while, Zhang Heng said: "I know about a dozen words, but they are not coherent. I don't know what this Zhong Ding article means?"
The old man's face showed ecstasy, and he grabbed his arm tightly, as if he was afraid that he would fly away, which made him quite uncomfortable, but in this situation, it was really difficult to get out of the way quickly.
"Brother, please point out which words you know." The old man was so excited that others worried that he might faint.
It is difficult for Zhang Heng to understand the old man's mood. Even if these words are important, they are just some ancient characters. Do they need to be used like this? The wizards in the space are creating another kind of written civilization under his influence, etc.
, Zhang Heng suddenly understood. Perhaps it was because of the original space that his appreciation of textures had unknowingly increased to n levels. In addition, his foreign language was so bad that his impressions of words were imbued with the Chinese language.
On top of the squares, maybe this is how you can recognize some of the fonts on the wall like drinking water!
But before, he really thought that this was just a lesson!
He nodded, raised his finger and pointed at the wall and said: "This, this, this, these are the words I know. However, can't you recognize such obvious words?" Zhang Heng turned to the crowd gathered at the scene and asked.
, the only response to him was silence.
Every time he pointed, the old man became more excited and muttered: "One, two, three... there are actually fifteen characters, twelve of which do not overlap with the ones that were previously cracked."
This made the old man overjoyed, and his hands tightened a bit. This time he was really afraid of Zhang Hengfei.
But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded again. It was the man in black, "Old man, haven't you already deciphered thirteen characters? You may not have known it from some source. Isn't that strange?"
"You bastard!" A scolding sounded like thunder. The old man blew the gray beard beside his chin excitedly, and shouted even more excitedly: "These words are secrets. Those who know them can count them on the palm of their hand. How can others know?
I heard you just said that you should come with this little brother. With your ugly mentality of jealousy of your companions, don't you feel ashamed in this Juyi Hall?" The old man scolded loudly with trembling hands, pointing all the way from
Third Master Zhang, Second Master Guan, and Emperor Liu are here to meet Mr. Zhuge Wolong.
There was a commotion at the scene, and they immediately distanced themselves from the man in black. Everyone looked at him with disdain. In this case, even the round-faced woman and the fat Yan Dayong quickly got out of the way, and it was difficult for everyone to stop them.
ah!
Zhang Heng suddenly became very fond of the old man. This is how a respectable old man behaves, but the real reason is that the old man fell in the face of a suspected love rival, which made him feel super happy!
The man in black blushed, glanced at Zhang Heng bitterly, and walked out.
Zhang Heng's pupils shrank, and a flash of light flashed under his eyes, but he immediately came to his senses when the old man pulled his arm.
"Brother, I would like to trouble you to follow me to the inner hall so that I can ask for advice." The old man called out sincerely.
If it were anyone else, even if they could recognize these words, they would probably have to be more modest. But Zhang Heng took it easy and replied directly: "Okay, but we can't delay too long."
"Pah!" Zhang Heng received another slap on the back, and the monitor whispered: "Zhang Heng, you can't be rude."
Zhang Heng was immediately confused. Why was he so rude? Didn't he already agree to help? After all, he was still not knowledgeable enough, he was not good at communication, and he was not tactful enough in dealing with others. He also spoke too directly, but this is his character.
It may be difficult to change in the future.
Unexpectedly, the old man heard Xiao Yin's words and said cheerfully: "Little girl, you can't blame your boyfriend, otherwise it would be a sin for you two to have a conflict because of the old man." He added:
"Brother, how about I arrange for your friends to go to the inner hall to have some tea and cakes to rest for a while. It won't take too long."
Xiao Yin looked shy and moved her lips to explain something, but couldn't.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to agree, feeling extremely happy. He sighed that this old man had such unique eyesight, how could he tell that the squad leader was his girlfriend, even though she was not yet...
But although he had a very good impression of the old man, he would rather let others decipher these broken words. Wouldn't it be better if he accompanied the squad leader to drink tea? He was just thinking about it.
Seeing that he agreed, the old man's face became even more joyful. He waved and several staff members wearing red sleeves came. Among them was the honest uncle who opened the door for them, who was looking at him in astonishment.
.
Zhang Heng was also shocked. This was a bit unbelievable. He evaded the fare and came in, but he was warmly received and even entertained their group.
I still remember that when I was a child, when my father was still alive, the family followed my grandmother to the temple on the mountain and ordered a table of vegetarian meals for five yuan per person, while ordinary vegetarian meals only cost 50 cents per person. That table of vegetarian meals was what he had eaten in his childhood.
The one who had the most fun eating was when he was only six years old and ate a big bowl full of rice. My sister was still in her infancy, looking up at the family having a lively meal. The scene was beautiful and very touching.
precious!
He smiled and wondered if there were any plain seats here. If so, he would bring his mother and grandma here next time. I have to say that his idea was very different. Others came to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the sages, but he wanted to
How can a place like this arrange fast meals for visitors while eating and drinking? If so, it would be too cliché.
The so-called inner hall is next to the employee housing. It is a large hall, which is also simple and grand. There is a sculpture of Mr. Zhuge sitting behind the desk, holding a bamboo scroll in his hand and meditating, which looks very expressive.
"This is the earliest main hall of the ancestral hall, and it is no longer open to tourists." The old man explained.
However, Zhang Heng couldn't appreciate it. He didn't think it was better here than outside. It was a waste of the old man's special arrangement. However, seeing that the monitor was looking at it with gusto and his sister also had a happy look on her face, she nodded excitedly.
Then the old man asked the staff to arrange for the rest of the people to rest in the side hall, and everyone followed him excitedly to visit, but he was taken directly to the inner hall by the old man, along with the skinny middle-aged man.
Zhang Heng naturally doesn't have stage fright. He dares to enter the dragon's pond and tiger's den, let alone it's just an ancestral hall.
Walking through a simple corridor, we entered the wooden room with carved railings, but there were no chairs. Judging from the situation, the owner of the house sat on a low platform all year round. There was a carved wooden board placed on the desk, and the font on it was the same as the one on the outside.
Fonts on the wall.
"Come on, please tell me about the fonts you know." The old man was no longer pretending to be a font. He grabbed his arm and never let go.
After sitting down, someone immediately brought tea and cakes. He didn't understand tea, but he had some experience with these cakes. He had seen high-end goods in the club. The plate in front of him was worth the money that the group paid to come here today.
After a while, I smelled the tea and it was fragrant. I took a sip under the enthusiasm of the old man and thought of only two words: "It tastes good!" Then nothing more happened. He really didn't understand the way of tea.
The old man smiled and did not mention it, because this tea in China only weighed more than ten kilograms every year. It was picked from the tea tree where Bodhidharma attained enlightenment. It is the most precious treasure of Zen Buddhism and cannot be measured by money.
Zhang Heng was not being pretentious. He was in a hurry and planned to take his sister on a fun trip today. He immediately pointed at the wood carving and said, "This word is five."
"Oh, five? How do you say it?" The old man's eyes were excited, but his expression was like a primary school student listening to instructions.
"It's very simple. This stroke represents rattan. The five lines here represent five rattan knots. It's not the number five. Of course, it may express some kind of event, but it still refers to five things. The meaning of five should be
It's not wrong. It may also mean a lot, harvest, victory, etc." Zhang Heng said without thinking.
The old man had a look of astonishment on his face, then suddenly nodded excitedly and sighed: "That's right, it's five, it's five!"
The skinny middle-aged man standing aside was also ecstatic, because he accidentally discovered and recommended this young man. Being able to win the teacher's favor is his greatest honor. In fact, this skinny middle-aged man is the chief steward of the ancestral hall, and the old man is just a teacher.
I just came here to stay for a while by chance. The skinny middle-aged man was just the old man's least accomplished disciple. He also took advantage of the convenience of this ancestral hall to invite the old man to stay for a while and listen to his teachings!
After the old man recorded it excitedly, Zhang Heng pointed to another word and said: "This word reads fortune."
"Fate?" The old man didn't ask any more questions this time and waited quietly for the next step. His expectation was even stronger now.
Zhang Heng scratched his head, because the lines of this character were too messy and out of order, and it was completely inconsistent with the modern word "ming", but he could tell at a glance that it was the word "ming".
After thinking for a while, he simply stood up and said, "I can't explain it either. Old man, look at my next actions and see if they are consistent with the meaning of this word."
After saying that, he walked to the desk, like a dragon, and suddenly performed a few simple movements. Finally, he formed a pattern similar to the ancient fortune-telling characters. His right hand was like a vicious grasp, his left hand was like a hook, and his left foot was on the ground.
Lift your right foot diagonally and arch your body like a tiger.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" the old man shouted excitedly three times, blowing so hard that his gray beard became agitated, and then said: "The ancient sages said that they can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. As expected, you are not deceiving me. If it weren't for my little brother,
It’s absolutely impossible for me to understand the artistic conception of this word of destiny if I am a person who paints and writes.”
Zhang Heng smiled sheepishly, because he could see the murderous aura from these lines, and his senses reminded him that this meant taking human lives. But if the situation hadn't been like this, and he couldn't shirk it, he wouldn't have
It's impossible to really delve into the meaning of these words without the leisure time.
He opened his mouth and said: "Maybe it doesn't mean fate. It's the same as the five words just now. It's just the basis for elicitation. The real meaning can only be known by connecting these words together."
The old man nodded and replied: "Our Chinese fonts are astonishingly extensive. Different combinations of the same words have different meanings. Even the same words with different combinations have different meanings. Just like the word "convenient", both
It is convenient for others and also means going to the toilet."
