Chapter 15 Section 14 Confucius and Bond 2000 years ago

"Brother Chu, why did you come out?" Ling Ning was surprised when he saw him.It wasn't that she made a big fuss, it was mainly because Chu Feng seldom went out of the room except for eating these days. "Well, the translation of that text encountered difficulties, so I had to put it down first and come out to get some air. By the way, what did you just say was ridiculous?" Chu Feng looked tired, obviously these days are not going well. At present, they have not received instructions to come and go as they please, and they are still not free for the time being. Depressed, they had to lock themselves in the room to conduct research.It's just that those strange words seem to be playing hide-and-seek with him. When he is excited, they hide; when he is discouraged, they throw some clues to lure him.That bit of inspiration seemed to be right in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch it.There was really no other way, so I had to come out to get some air!

"What? Are those strange inscriptions on the stone tablet so difficult to decipher?" William Lin is a loyal admirer of Chu Feng. Some do not believe it. Chu Feng smiled wryly. Ling Ning was still winking, seeing that Chu Feng obviously didn't want to talk about that topic, she quickly turned away: "Look, Brother Chu, we were discussing this just now!" She showed Chu Feng the image of the frogman. After all, Chu Feng was a professional in this field, and he could tell at a glance that this frogman was similar to the one on the colorful coffin of Shanshan that day. "Isn't this the frogman worship in the Mayan civilization?" He closed the book and looked at the cover, "Uh, "Illustration of American Totems"? Well, let me guess, have you found that it is similar to that on the Zhenda colored coffin? The frogmen are very similar? So you think the explanations given by those experts are ridiculous?" Chu Feng said to the point.

"It's amazing! Brother Chu, why do you look like the roundworm in our stomach?" William Lin widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this. Ling Ning heard something like "roundworms in the stomach", and wanted to spit on him, "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense, you are the disgusting worm!" Chu Feng ignored the grievances between them, and just raised the book in his hand: "Your thoughts are not hard to guess! But don't laugh at other people's inferences casually. The truth of history is not so easy to get. Any possibility will Yes, not to mention that the explanation given by the experts was the most reasonable. At least they can justify themselves, which is not easy.” In fact, Chu Feng did not agree with that statement, and was just teaching the two young people to learn a little bit. basic attitude.

Among the two, Ling Ning had experienced this kind of training, while William obeyed everything Chu Feng said.Therefore, there was no rebuttal to his words. Ling Ning remembered another thing: "By the way, Brother Chu, where are the Bayeux scriptures I found last time? You are deciphering the strange inscriptions on the stone tablet, and my uncle is deciphering the book of birch bark scriptures. Is there no one to care about?" When Chu Feng and others went to explore the city in the sky, Ling Ning failed to follow. Chu Feng was worried about her safety, and another reason was that she made a unique discovery in the tower.Relying on his carefulness and solid knowledge, Ling Ning finally broke through three traps and got a silk painting and some Bayeux scriptures.Ling Ning is somewhat persistent about the things she discovered independently, and she doesn't want those things to be left alone in the corner of the museum.

"How is it possible? Professor Zhang has already found an expert who can decipher the characters of the Brahma riddle. Don't worry about it." Regarding this matter, Professor Zhang once explained to Chu Feng, so Chu Feng is very clear about the whereabouts of those Beiye scriptures. "Brother Chu, aren't you able to decipher the Brahma script? Why do you have to let others translate it?" William Lin remembered that when he saw these Bayeux scriptures, Chu Feng immediately explained their origin, which shows that he knew them. Why doesn't he translate this kind of writing by himself?

Chu Feng shook his head: "You guys, take care of everything for me, aren't you afraid of exhausting me?" He is more interested in the strange inscriptions on the stone tablet now, because he still has a wolfskin document written in this kind of language at home. Yes, both public and private, he should decipher these words or characters first. "Brother Chu, I have a question!" Lin William just put down the previous question after listening to Chu Feng's explanation, and immediately remembered a question he found while reading, "Look, this magazine said that the Taklamakan Desert There are abundant water resources underground. It is said that if all the water is pumped out of the ground, the land with an area of ​​225,000 square kilometers can be turned into a sea with a depth of 36 meters. Since there is so much water, can it still be called a desert? Is this water related to the mysterious disappearance of water in Lop Nur?" While talking, William handed a copy of "Xinjiang Human Geography" to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked at it, and it used detailed data to prove that there are indeed abundant water resources underground in the Taklimakan Desert: "I don't know the answer to what you said. Maybe the groundwater layer in the Taklamakan Desert is relatively deep. As for the water in Lop Nur Where is it, there is a guess that it has infiltrated into the ground—" Chu Feng answered casually while flipping through the magazine in his hand.To be honest, these questions cannot be answered by him as a paleographer, and he can only give this specious answer. Suddenly, he saw an article in William's hand, titled "The Secret Writing Method of the Veda in Ancient India". The scriptures are written in secret in order to ensure the inheritance of the scriptures.

As soon as he saw the title, his heart skipped a beat, and as he flipped through it, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Secret writing, secret writing, yes, why didn't I think of it!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked quickly. He went back to his room, leaving Ling Ning and William looking at each other. Their doubts did not last long.A loud laugh soon came from Chu Feng's room: "Haha! I found it!" Ling Ning and William rushed into his room, ignoring the rules, but saw Chu Feng working in front of the computer excitedly, his fingers flying like flying fingers.

"Brother Chu, did you find anything?" Ling Ning and William, you poked me and I pushed your "modesty" for a while, and finally Ling Ning was more courageous and asked a question. Chu Feng didn't turn his head back: "Look, these oracle bone script radicals were added later. I thought they were just engraved by latecomers with ulterior motives to cover up the strange inscriptions on the stone tablet, so that no one could understand them, but just now Ling Ning mentioned The Bayeux scriptures you found, I judged at that time that they might be "Mocobharata". This "Macobharata" is a great epic recorded in the great classic "Veda" of ancient India. And the article on William’s desk reminded me, since the high priests of ancient India liked to record classics in secret writing, then, would the shamans of the ancient Yellow River civilization also use some secret writing to record something.”

"I thought those so-called passwords, secret letters, etc. were only seen in spy movies. Could it be that ancient people had the potential to be spies?" William Lin was completely untouched and was stunned. "I know this!" Ling Ning knew a thing or two, "For some reason, the ancients liked to write down some things in a password-like secret language. The most famous person among them is Confucius." "Confucius? You mean, Confucius may be the '007 Bond' from more than 2,000 years ago?" William's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief! Even Chu Feng, who was concentrating on his work, couldn't help but stop and turn his head when he heard this.

"Yes, it is Confucius. After Confucius' death, someone at that time sighed with emotion, 'Confucius is gone, but his words are dead, and the seventy sons are mourned, but his righteousness is good'. When later generations understood this 'weiyan', because of the influence of 'great righteousness', Connect it all the time to understand 'small words and great righteousness', that is, to reflect the big truth with the small things around you." Ling Ning took a breath when he said this. The impatient William couldn't wait: "Isn't that what you mean?" "Of course not!" Ling Ning rolled his eyes at him, "'Micro-words' is a method of secret writing, and the person who was emotional at that time was an insider. Confucius should be a successor of some kind of secret writing method. When the successor died, No one can grasp and decipher this kind of "micro-words" anymore. The disciples who were with Confucius at that time all knew this. Who got the inheritance. After his death, the disciples were suspicious of each other and had a lot of quarrels. Finally, one of them came up with the idea to ask everyone to compile together what they remembered and heard when they were with the teacher during the period of mourning for Confucius. A chapter similar to the anthology of Confucius, this is the prototype." Ling Ning finished in one breath.Completely ignoring the stunned William, he stared straight at Chu Feng, trying to see from his expression whether he could accept these remarks. "Ling Ning, where do you see this?" Chu Feng did not express his opinion after hearing this. "From the book "The Origin of the Analects of Confucius" written by my uncle, I got some rough ideas. Some of them are my own inferences." Ling Ning felt a little uneasy. "Uh, after a few days the matter here is over, let me tell the teacher, you'd better go to study abroad, the domestic education system is not suitable for you at present." After listening to Chu Feng, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly stopped It was said with emotion. Unexpectedly, Ling Ning became anxious when he heard this: "Brother Chu, are you going to drive me away?" As he said that, his eyes immediately turned red. "Nothing!" Chu Feng really didn't have much experience in coaxing girls. When he saw that this girl was about to drop a golden bean, he was at a loss, "What I mean is, with your intelligence and solid knowledge, If you study abroad, as long as you don’t be proud of yourself and study hard, I can guarantee that you will be able to get a Ph. I'm thinking of you!" After saying this, seeing Ling Ning's face turn from cloudy to sunny, he breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Ning lowered his head and thought for a while before he said leisurely, "Thank you, Big Brother Chu, for thinking about me, but I'm still far behind. When I have accumulated a certain amount of practical experience here, even if you don't drive me away, I will leave." of!" "Uh!" Chu Feng had nothing to say after eating her such a soft nail, so he had to divert his attention: "Look, I used the simplest thimble secret writing method, and these oracle bone inscription radicals seem to be interesting .” The so-called thimble secret writing method means that when writing, in order to protect the content you want to hide, you will spell a word with the previous word and the next word, such as: A, B, C, D represent four words, you can spell Into AB, BC, CD, DA. Ling Ning and William leaned over, and the arrangement in the computer had already been completed.Those stripped stone tablets with engraved marks are indeed the radicals of oracle bone inscriptions. Although some of them still cannot be formed into characters, some of them can be recognized: "I know this, it is the word 'mountain'!" Ling Ning first shouted excitedly. "That's right! That's indeed Shanzi!" Chu Feng tried to skip the radicals that obviously couldn't be spelled, and spelled the characters that could be spelled again with the thimble secret writing method. The result came out, and the three people who saw this sentence lost the joy of solving the problem, but stayed there with astonishment on their faces. The computer was unable to get instructions for a long time, and the screen flickered on and off, and the sentence flashed over and over again: "There is water in Kunlun Mountain!"
