Chapter 483 Chapter 4 Mysterious Text

"Grandpa, what is this?" I found a white cloth hanging from a willow branch.The white cloth is square and has words drawn on it.The reason why it is said that the characters are "drawn" rather than "written" is because the characters on it are so weird that I don't recognize any of them.But those words are well-proportioned, it doesn't look like they were scribbled on.Its shape is a bit like the scratches left by a carpenter on the wood unintentionally. The place where the pen starts is thick and wide, and the place where the pen ends is long and thin.I tore off the white cloth, and after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't understand what the white cloth was for.

"Huh?" Grandpa turned his head, frowned and looked at the white cloth in my hand. "It turned out that this text attracted it. The evil spirit is really strong!" "Is this text?" I asked. Grandpa nodded. "What's this word? Why don't I know any of them?" "Of course you don't know it. This is a very mysterious and ancient text." A trace of panic flashed across Grandpa's eyes. "Mysterious? Ancient?" I trembled.What makes me shiver is not that grandpa said it was mysterious and ancient, but the panic that flashed in grandpa's eyes.Words that can make grandpa panic, must be ominous. "Why haven't I heard you talk about this kind of writing before?"

Grandpa forced a smile, took the white cloth from my hand, and said: "I haven't seen it for a long time. Or, I have never seen the real writing. Your grandpa mentioned it to me once or twice. Once, he drew a few of them. He doesn't know all of them." "Is this related to the hurdle you hit?" I asked in surprise.I naturally connected it with the Kan that my grandfather hit.In my opinion, this mysterious thing is the same type of event as the coffin god, and they are all here to remind grandpa. "No." Grandpa vetoed it. "No?" I was dubious. "I haven't had such a big face yet, let an experienced murderer remind me of my bad luck." Grandpa laughed at himself.He lifted the white cloth and looked at it for a long time.

"An experienced murderer? What does it have to do with the words on this white cloth?" I asked impatiently. "It's a long story. Liangzi, did your school teacher tell you that there are eight mysterious ancient characters in our country?" Grandpa asked. I replied impatiently: "Mysterious ancient characters? How can our teacher know how to talk about these? I can't take the exam!" "Oh, let me tell you. There are eight mysterious ancient scripts in our country, namely: Cangjie script, Xia Yu script, Hongyan script, Yelang script, Bashu symbols, Xianju tadpole script, Dongba script, and Hebei stele. .” Grandpa said.

"This is new, what's going on with these words?" Grandpa attracted me from the very beginning. "Let's talk about the Cangjie script first. The Cangjie script has only 28 characters in total. It is said that it was written by Cangjie. It is the oldest existing Chinese script. The "Chunhua Secret Pavilion Fatie" compiled and printed by Emperor Taizong of the ancient Song Dynasty included this piece. Work. When "Daguantie" was reprinted, the twenty-eight characters of "Cangjie Shu" were translated as "Wu Si Jia Yi, the first and all friends, the end of the world, the style, the style, the name, the Zuo Huyao family, the respect of Chishui, and the Gemao Ax Fu.' This cannot be read at all. Later, someone researched and found that it was a sacrificial scripture written in the ancient Yi language. Five eradication sweeping, flag fasting to relieve fruit, and rats to revive their souls." It probably means that a group of demons just arrived, and crows flew all over the trees; they cut greens and slaughtered sheep to sacrifice to the mountain gods, chanted sutras to eliminate disasters and returned on horseback; five scripture teachers cast spells, After fasting, the soul will return, and the spirit of the mouse will return to its place.'Of course, this cannot be regarded as a conclusion."

Grandpa's words reminded me of the legend of "Cangjie created characters" he once told.However, I saw that he hadn't finished speaking, so it's not easy to interrupt and delve into it. "Let's talk about Xia Yu's book. It is said that the script or handwriting written by Dayu, the ancestor of the Xia Dynasty royal family who has made great achievements in water control, is the Zhongding book or the scorpion seal. There are only twelve characters in total. It is ten less than the Cangjie book. Six characters. For thousands of years, there is no recognized interpretation of Xia Yushu, so it is called the mystery of the unbounded ages; it is even endowed with mythical legends, which adds to its unrecognizable mystery. It is one of the eight major unrecognizable One of the ancient scripts deciphered."

"Hongyan Tianshu, also known as Hongya Tianshu, is a huge light red stone screen with a length of 100 meters and a height of 30 meters on the cliff of the Saijia Mountain in a certain Miao County in Guizhou Province. There are dozens of iron-gray symbols on it. The big one is like a bucket, and the small one is like a liter. Its shape looks like seal script and official script. Some people say that Hongyantian was written in 1406. Xi’. I don’t know if this statement is reliable or not. Likewise, no one can be sure what it really means.” "Yelang Tianshu is the name of an ancient book found in a Yi nationality area in Guizhou Province. Because the local location is the border of Yelang Kingdom in the past, this ancient book is called 'Yelang Tianshu'. There are four thousand and four One hundred and eighty characters, written with a brush and smoked ink, are composed of curves and circles, and the strokes are all inflected like seal cutting. The strokes are of different thicknesses, and they are scattered and arranged."

"Bashu symbols, also known as Bashu pictographs or Bashu graphic characters, are 150 different icons, collectively referred to as 'Bashu symbols'. Most of them are physical images, without verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, and numbers. This is not enough to form a sentence, but just look at the symbols that illustrate the meaning, which is different from the oracle bone inscriptions and ancient Yi script, and also different from the later Bashu script, and it is also an undecipherable script." "The tadpole script is even more magical. It originally referred to the characters used by the gods. The tadpole script is also called the tadpole script and the tadpole seal script. It is because the strokes start and end, and they are all written with sharp edges. It is also characterized by thick heads and thin tails. The name only appeared after the Han Dynasty. Yes, it was rarely seen after the Tang Dynasty."

"Dongba documents use the idea of ​​animism to illustrate the origin of objective things such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, wind and cloud, rain, animals, plants, war, and love. They also write many ghosts, gods, monsters, etc. The meaning of each word There is no evidence of specific meaning.” "Speaking of the Goufu Stele, it is much closer to us. It was originally engraved on the Goufu Peak of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, Hunan Province, so it is called the "Guiyu Stele". The ruins of Xia Yu, also known as "Yu Monument", "Yu King Monument" and "Da Yu Gongde Monument". The inscription has seventy-seven characters and nine lines, the first to eighth lines each have nine characters, and the last line Five characters. The shape of the characters is like a tadpole, which is different from the oracle bone and Zhong Dingwen, and also different from the tadpoles in the Zhenwen. Some people speculate that it may be a kind of talisman recorded by Taoism, and some say it was forged by Taoists.”
