Twisted Realm

The next day, on Sunday, Meng Xuan did not choose to go to the library because he encountered difficulties in translation, but went directly to the Internet cafe.

Open the temporary card, open the computer, enter the card number, open the chat tool, enter the new network number to log in, a set of operations is smooth.

Beep beep!

As soon as the new website number was logged in, there was a harsh beeping sound. Meng Xuan was surprised to find that a netizen named “Where did he come from” applied to add his own network number.

Meng Xuan passed the friend request of the other party, and looked at the other party’s avatar. The other party’s avatar was a big dog with glasses and the shape of a dog. At this time, it was in a shining state, indicating that the other party was online now.

Meng Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a while. Relying on his decades of online chatting experience in his previous life, he chose a suitable sentence in his mind and sent the opening remarks to the other party:

“Hello are you there?”

Perhaps because of the appropriate opening remarks, Meng Xuan quickly got a reply from the other party: “Yes, you are also a fan of ancient Nelson’s mysterious civilization?”

“Yes, I am very interested in research in this area, and I am currently doing self-study on the corresponding knowledge. I have read many of your posts, and I think your posts are amazing, and I have encountered a lot of problems in my self-study. , so I hope I can communicate with you more, and I hope you can help me solve some confusions, for which I am willing to pay a certain amount.”

Meng Xuan explained his purpose straight to the point.

“You are too polite, it’s just for mutual communication. In the field of ancient Nelson civilization, no one dares to claim that they are authoritative. We are all groping and explorers. For tens of thousands of years, the secrets of ancient Nelson civilization have been submerged in historical time. Their splendid civilization, they are full of mysterious and magnificent culture, are not known now, even the name of Nelson is little known today, which can make more people interested in discovering, exploring and feeling the charming ancient Nelson Civilization is my honor, how can I talk about remuneration?”

To Meng Xuan’s surprise, “Where did he come from” actually rejected his offer to pay him.

Beforehand, Meng Xuan was ready for a massive hemorrhage.

After all, the ancient civilization research of Nelson’s family is so biased, it is very difficult to find a master, so even if Meng Xuan spends a lot of money, he must determine the steps of the blood-origin ceremony, and can’t delay it.

Are the ideological consciousness of the ancient civilization researchers so high?

Meng Xuan sighed in his heart that the other party was unexpectedly easy to talk, but it saved him a lot of effort.

So, the two started chatting.

After chatting a few words about the legends and stories of Nelson’s civilization, the other party quickly brought the topic back to the main topic: “What troubles did you encounter in the process of self-study?”

“That’s right, after reading your post about Nelson’s writing, I have developed a strong interest in the writing system of Nelson’s derivative civilizations. Currently, I am researching Shirtu, Zangeli, and Searle. The writing system of several relatively complete Nelson-derived civilizations has been circulated, and attempts are made to translate ancient books of related civilizations.”

“But I encountered a problem during the translation process. Some characters are ambiguous, and different evolution of the meaning of the characters may bring completely different results to the translated content. I am very confused, and I don’t know how to accurately determine the characters. meaning, for example, when translating a certain sentence, I came across…”

Meng Xuan told the other party the problem he was facing at this time, and searched the Internet to find the ancient character picture with two different meanings of “jump” and “cross”, and sent it to the other party.

“Translation actually focuses on the contextual connection, which is the meaning expressed in the context of the overall article. I can’t accurately translate the meaning of a simple character, but I can give you a little explanation for this character.

The main meaning of this character should be ‘cross’, and ‘jump’ should be a derivative meaning developed later. “

After a while, the other party’s spectacled dog head vibrated, and a reply was sent.

“Why is the main meaning ‘cross’ instead of ‘jump’? Based on what judgment?”

Meng Xuan expressed curiosity about this and asked for advice humbly.

“Actually, the basis for making this judgment is very simple. When this character was discovered in archaeology, it mostly appeared in places related to sacrificial prayer ceremonies, or in inscriptions or historical records that recorded sacrificial prayers.”

“After archaeological investigation and research, there is a common activity in the sacrificial and prayer ceremonies of the derivative civilizations of the ancient Nelson family, that is, the relevant personnel involved in the sacrificial sacrificing will hold hands, step over the burning bonfire in turn, and use the body and the flame to contact with each other. Jia, in order to dispel the negative information in the body that represents evil, darkness, disease, and death, and bring light and good luck to oneself.”

“This traditional activity can still be seen in the weddings, sacrifices, gatherings and other ceremonies of Xizhou people. Therefore, the academic community generally believes that the original meaning of this character should be ‘cross’, and ‘jump’ should be a gradual change in the ceremony. After the derivative meaning, you can find relevant reports and papers on the Internet for specific content…”

“Where did it come from?” patiently explained to Meng Xuan the origin of the judgment on the original meaning of this character.

This is not easy!

Meng Xuan thought to himself, although “where did it come from” is easy to say, but Meng Xuan knows how extensive knowledge it contains~www.mtlnovel.com~ If it is not a professional researcher who is engaged in this field, who can have such a wide range of knowledge? A wide range of knowledge can know this.

Since it is related to ritual, the meaning expressed by this character should be its main meaning “cross”.

After that, Meng Xuan asked the other side questions about several other questions in the translation of the ritual steps, and he got a very satisfactory answer.

Found the Great God!

Meng Xuan was overjoyed, and chatted with the other party more about ancient Nelson’s writing, hoping to get more information that he didn’t know.

“Actually, in the process of researching Nelson’s series of civilized characters, I found a lot of interesting things.

For example, through comparison, I found that some characters in different derived civilizations are extremely similar in structure, but have very different meanings.

After in-depth research, I found that although the meanings of these characters look different, they all have their own reasonable evolutionary contexts, and the evolutionary contexts of different derived civilizations are different.

From this, I guessed that these very similar characters with different meanings probably originally expressed the same exact meaning, and they are likely to be the original appearance of Nelson’s writing.

According to some historical materials and legends, I guess that ancient Nelson’s writing system should be very large and complex.

Their characters are like precise mechanical parts, and the complex font structure determines that they can evolve countless different characters.

It is very likely that in Nelson’s writing, the meaning of each word is definite, and there is no such thing as derivative meaning. There may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of different characters in their writing system! “

“Where did it come from?” and Meng Xuan recounted their guesses about Nelson’s words.
