Zhou Huaiwen laughed, and explained: "I still remember Zhong Dingwen's encyclopedia of commonly used words a while ago, no, are you using it smoothly?"
In the office, a group of ancient writing experts and professors nodded in unison.
"That's right, the Encyclopedia of Commonly Used Chinese Characters translated by that gentleman has helped us a lot!"
"Now if you study those ancient bronze wares, you don't have to guess!"
"By the way, Lao Zhou, didn't you say you wanted to bring that gentleman to the research institute, man?"
With a smile on his face, Zhou Huaiwen said leisurely: "I have already brought the person, far away in the sky, close in front of me!"
As soon as these words came out, the experts and professors in the office were dumbfounded.
"he?"
"Is this young man an expert in interpreting Zhong Dingwen?"
"Old Zhou, are you sure you're not joking?"
Zhou Huaiwen said: "Of course I'm not joking. Mr. Su has already been to our research institute last time, but everyone was busy with that matter at that time, so I didn't introduce Mr. Su to everyone!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Huaiwen paused.
Then, he said solemnly: "Okay, let me formally introduce you. The gentleman next to me is named Su Mingchen. He is the editor of Zhong Dingwen's Encyclopedia of Commonly Used Characters! He is also an expert in ancient characters that everyone has always wanted to meet!"
however……
Before Zhou Huaiwen finished speaking, a large group of enthusiastic experts and professors pushed him aside, and they all stepped forward to shake Su Chen's hand.
"Mr. Su, I have seen you in real life. The encyclopedia of Zhong Dingwen written by you is really wonderful!"
"That's right, it has also helped our research institute a lot! There have been major breakthroughs recently in many obscure ancient histories."
"As soon as I saw you, Mr. Su, I felt that you were imposing, and you were definitely not an ordinary person!"
Looking at a group of old professors who searched their stomachs and flattered themselves desperately.
Su Chen thought to herself, didn't your old man call me a liar just now, and the one who called me the loudest?
Why, when I turned around, I became imposing?
Tucao belongs to Tucao, and Su Chen didn't bother with these old experts.
He turned his head to look at Zhou Huaiwen, and asked, "Old Zhou, where is the Kunlun jade pendant you mentioned? I'll finish my research early so I can go home early."
Zhou Huaiwen smiled, waved his hands and said, "Mr. Su, don't worry!"
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Mr. Su. We used your Zhong Dingwen encyclopedia in our research to initially decipher the contents of the bronze vessel of King Lu Shang. We probably know that in ancient times, there was a dynasty called Zhou, and there were countless princes in the dynasty. King! King Lu Shang is just one of them. This is a great discovery in the archaeological field. The director said that a press conference will be held in a few days to inform the whole nation of the good news. At that time, Mr. Su can also come to participate in the release Yes, after all, you are the biggest contributor!"
Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou divided into two parts, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, unified Qin and Han...
These are all dynasty poems that elementary school students of later generations will memorize.
But in this world, even the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty can't be clearly distinguished, let alone the inspiring history of Emperor Qin's dominance of the world, and Han and Wu chasing the grasslands from the north.
It has to be said that this is also a kind of sadness.
Su Chen knows all the history, but he can't tell it. If there is no historical relics to support it, it's just empty talk.
For example, in the real world, everyone knows that there is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lishan.
But in this world, there is no such place as Mount Li.
Even if Su Chen started a live broadcast and told everyone that there was a guy named Ying Zheng who unified the entire Hua Kingdom and ended the Seven Kingdoms War, who would believe his words?
Thinking of this, Su Chen shook his head, and said softly, "Forget about the press conference, I don't like to show my face."
"This……"
Zhou Huaiwen was taken aback when he heard this.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like fame and fortune?
However, considering that Su Chen could even decline the national third-class medal, it seemed that he could accept it if he didn't want to stand in front of the media.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaiwen sighed all over his face: "Mr. is indeed a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, let's not talk about this, and go directly to the topic!"
With that said, Zhou Huaiwen walked to the projector in the office and opened a few pictures.
After the picture is enlarged, you can see various detailed decorations on the jade pendant, including the symbols and characters engraved on it.
This jade pendant was accidentally discovered by the border guards under the glacier of Kunlun Mountain, and it has been sent to the research institute for several days.
During this period of time, ancient text experts have repeatedly studied, but they still cannot determine what the symbols on the jade pendant mean.
then!
Everyone looked forward to it, hoping that Su Chen could help them unravel their confusion and at the same time unravel the secrets of the Kunlun Mountain ruins.
however……
While everyone was expecting it, Su Chen stared at the picture for a long time, but suddenly shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I don't know what these words say!"
"Ah this..."
As soon as Su Chen spoke, all the experts and professors present, including Zhou Huaiwen, were all disappointed!
I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but I didn't expect this result.
Zhou Huaiwen sighed, and cheered up: "It's okay, Mr. Su, don't blame yourself. After all, this kind of ancient text is even more obscure than Zhong Dingwen. I believe that we can solve it one day by brainstorming!"
"That's right, Mr. Su is still young, don't care about temporary gains and losses."
Blame yourself?
I'm not in this mood, okay...
Su Chen complained in her heart.
He was not an expert on ancient characters, but archaeologists in this world are too hip, and even many ordinary people in later generations know that Zhong Dingwen doesn't know him, so he will be worshiped as an expert!
As for the words on the jade pendant.
Although Su Chen doesn't know him, he can be sure that it's definitely Ghost Cave Text!
The Ghost Cave Wen is a unique writing of the Ghost Cave Clan in the world of Ghost Blowing Lamps.
The Demon Kingdom and the Jingjue Kingdom are in the same line, and they both use this kind of ghost cave script.
but!
Although Su Chen didn't know what it meant, but judging from the shape and color of the jade pendant, it was almost certain that this jade pendant was exactly the same as Wang Kaixuan's jade pendant in Ghost Blowing Lantern.
This jade pendant is the key to unlock Queen Jingjue's underground palace!
Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "However, although I don't know this kind of script, I know his origin!"
Chapter 71 History of the Demon Kingdom, Su Chen joins the archaeological team?
Inside the office!
The experts and professors took a breath, each with mournful faces.
Please, can you stop panting so much when you speak!
Young people don't talk about martial arts, and it's not good for them to bully their masters!
Although there was resentment in their hearts, this group of ancient writing experts cheered up immediately.
"Great, Mr. Su is indeed young and promising!"
"Mr. Su is the future star in the world of ancient characters!"
"Mr. Su, please tell us about the origin of these ancient characters!"
Su Chen secretly smiled inwardly, and changed the subject: "Although I know its origin, well, I don't dare to assert without conclusive evidence!"
Ah this...
In an instant, the mentality of all the experts and professors became even worse!
I thought that an expert would finally be able to unravel the ancient characters on the cultural relics.
But in the end, the expert couldn't understand.
If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. After all, the experts in the research institute in their big class don't understand it, so it's okay.
When everyone had given up hope, a sentence suddenly came up, I don't understand ancient characters, but I know its origin!
This made a group of experts and professors overjoyed, thinking that they were going to survive from a desperate situation.
but!
Before I was happy for 2 minutes, the expert said that there was insufficient evidence to make a conclusion...
In just a few minutes, the experts experienced the ups and downs of life, and felt like they were about to suffer from myocardial infarction.
Su Chen laughed heartily.
He was deliberately teasing this group of experts and professors.
Who told them to have something to do with Mr. Su, and to have nothing to do with Xiao Su...
Seeing everyone startled and being tortured to the point of neurasthenia, Su Chen accepted it and said again: "But I can tell you the origin of these ancient characters, so we can refer to them together!"
With that said, Su Chen coughed lightly.
Walking to the middle of the office, he talked about the origin of the Ghost Cave Clan.
"If my guess is correct, these ancient characters should be ghost cave characters that have been lost for a long time!"
Ghost Cave Text?
The experts looked at each other, hearing this word for the first time.
Ancient characters are extensive and profound, ranging from pictographs, local characters, to ancient characters of various countries, there are not tens of thousands, but thousands of them!
Even experts and professors like them who have been immersed for decades dare not say that they know every language.
"Mr. Su, what kind of writing is this ghost cave writing? Is it the writing of our ancient Chinese country?"
Su Chen replied: "It's normal that I haven't heard of it, because the ghost cave script comes from the ghost cave clan, and the ghost cave clan was completely extinct about 2000 years ago. In addition, they are not from the Central Plains, so it's normal that their characters haven't been handed down."
Then, Su Chen roughly talked about the relationship between the Ghost Cave Clan, the Demon Kingdom, the Zagrama Clan, and the Jingjue Kingdom.
To put it simply, the ghost cave tribe is the earliest, probably earlier than the ancient Yellow Emperor. Five thousand to eight thousand years ago, a bottomless ghost cave was discovered in the depths of the Taklamakan Desert.
They also saw the remains of the snake god in the bottomless ghost cave, and signed a contract with the immortal snake god to obtain powerful abilities.
At this time, a ghost mother will appear in each generation of the ghost cave clan.
The ghost mother can control the black-eyed snake, Dapu ghost insect, and a pair of demon pupils, which can banish people to the imaginary space.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch!
The price for the Ghost Cave Clan to gain the power of the snake god is to sacrifice living tributes to the snake god every once in a while.
People's desires are endless, and the ghost cave people began to dream of stronger power and the ability to live forever.
More importantly, they don't want to be controlled by the snake god anymore, and want to get rid of the slavery of the snake god.
So under the leadership of Nianji Heiyan, the first ghost mother, the Ghost Cave Clan left the Taklimakan Desert and migrated to the Kunlun Mountains, where they established the Demon Kingdom.
The ghost mother has Dapu ghost insects, black-eyed strange snakes, and demon-eyed abilities, and her strength is as strong as gods and Buddhas.
The Demon Kingdom she established soon became the overlord there, wantonly suppressing and enslaving the surrounding tribes.
The Demon Kingdom lasted for many years until the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when Master Padmasambhava and the King of Conquerable Orbs took advantage of the death of the old ghost mother of the Demon Kingdom and the birth of the new ghost mother, they raised an incident and wiped out the Demon Kingdom.
The Muchen Bead, which was controlled by the ghost mother and represented the power of the snake god, also wandered to the Central Plains.
In the end, Muchen Bead was obtained by King Wen of Zhou.
He recorded the contents of Muchen Bead in detail in the Dragon Bone Book.
Muchen Bead became the legendary phoenix gall that can make people immortal, until it was captured by King Xian during the Qin and Han Dynasties and brought into the tomb.
Let's talk about the bottomless ghost cave. After the ghost cave tribe migrated to Kunlun Mountain, another primitive tribe accidentally discovered the bottomless ghost cave.
The prophet of this primitive tribe told the tribe that the eyeball-shaped much dust beads can spy on the truth of the bottomless ghost cave.
Therefore, the tribe imitated an eyeball in an attempt to see clearly what was under the bottomless ghost cave.
Unexpectedly, since the imitation eyeball was created, the tribal disasters continued, and the eyeball curse appeared on the back of every clansman, and the blood in the body would gradually thicken, and they would not live to be 40 years old.
