On the Importance of Chinese Characters

Fang Qiling was taken back to the City Lord's Mansion and locked in his own room. He lay unconscious on the bed, his handsome face was pale after blood loss, and the wound on his body had already been bandaged, but it was only to stop the bleeding. The people he treated were clearly not paying attention.

Qi Laoqi inspected Qiling Villa and found that the building was empty. After sending out a series of instructions with secret signals, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion openly and aboveboard the next morning.As the servant of the third young master of the City Lord's Mansion, the people on the porch naturally knew him.Soon, this matter was reported to the elders of the second clan.

As a matter of course, Qi Laoqi was stopped outside Fang Qiling's small courtyard, he was not surprised, he just stood obediently in the courtyard and waited.

The elders of the second clan were discussing with the wife of the city lord how to deal with Su Meiniang's next incident, but they raised their eyebrows in surprise when they got the news: "Oh? How dare he come back?" After looking at the wife of the city lord, the elders of the second clan got up, "I'll go Let’s see, let’s discuss this matter later.”

The elders of the second clan came very quickly, Qi Lao Qi's old face was full of calm, and he even saluted respectfully as usual: "I have met the elders of the clan."

The old man of the second family folded his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The third child is seriously injured and is recuperating. I don't see anyone."

Hearing the news of his master's injury, Qi Laoqi clenched his fists for a moment and then let go, and gave another deep salute: "Please accommodate the elders of the second clan and let the subordinates go in and take care of them."

"I told you, the third child doesn't see anyone." The second family's veterans are not allowed to enter.

After a moment of silence, Qi Lao Qi straightened up: "My master has a letter for me to bring."

The master Qi Lao Qi spoke of naturally did not refer to Fang Qiling.

The second elder's eyebrows jumped, and he uttered a sentence: "Say.

"My master said that if something happened to the young master, she would wash Nachuan City with blood and wipe out the entire Fang family." Qi Laoqi's words were always without any ups and downs, but such a straightforward narration wafted a strong smell of blood.

The elder of the second clan narrowed his eyes: "Is this a threat?"

"It's not a threat," Qi Laoqi lowered his eyes, his tone was full of respect, but what he said was not the case, "It's an announcement."

Thinking of the blood-stained woman who dragged her broken body but forcibly chopped off the head of the old man of the second clan, the old man of the second clan felt cold all over, and said in a deep voice: "Is she not afraid of the anger of the palace master?"

Qi Laoqi raised his head, with a smile that was not a smile: "As long as there is no accident in Nachuan City, the palace master doesn't mind who takes this position. The elders of the second clan, Ming people don't speak dark words, why did the young master stay in the castle palace since childhood? You know better than anyone."

The old man of the second clan fell silent, he naturally understood that for the palace master, Fang Qiling was a restraint, and it was not because he was incapable of taking care of Su Meiniang, but because there was a more convenient way, so he just didn't bother to bother.What he wanted was Fang Qiling. As for who the caretaker was, the Palace Master didn't care.Therefore, Su Meiniang's threat is indeed effective for him, and it is not worth it to change the entire Fang family with one Fang Qiling.Besides, what they wanted was never human life.

The tone of the elder of the second family eased a little: "The third child is a child of the Fang family, how can we do anything to him? You go back and tell your master, please rest assured. It's just..." His voice changed, and his tone changed He was a little more subtle, "Please also ask your master to stay in the palace master's hall safely, otherwise, the third child will be seriously injured this time. I'm afraid that something will happen to him, which will make your master sad."

"I'm sorry to bother the elders of the second clan." Qi Laoqi didn't care about the cold face of the old man opposite, and said calmly, "It's just that my master said that she can feel at ease when there is someone by my little master's side, and please accommodate the elders of the second clan."

"My Fang family's child, will I still harm him?" Fang Qiling was finally caught, and the people around him were all replaced by his own people. Naturally, the elders of the second clan would not put such an unstable factor by his side. This Qi Lao Qi is not bad at skills, if he wants to do something, it's not difficult.

"I know what you are worried about." Qi Laoqi suddenly sneered, his whole body surging, just when the old man of the second clan's face suddenly changed, thinking that he was about to force his way in, the other party unexpectedly slapped him on the In the air sea, a mouthful of blood spurted out from Qi Laoqi's mouth, and sprayed on the source force barrier opened by the elder of the second clan.He staggered two steps, and the originally abundant source power dissipated rapidly, the sixth floor, the fifth floor, the fourth floor... the second floor.Qi Laoqi, who lost four layers of source power one after another, is visibly older by the naked eye, and now Qi Lao Qi's source power is weak, and any guard in the city lord's mansion can easily clean him up.

"How about this?" Qi Laoqi asked again, wiping away the blood from his mouth indifferently.

The old man of the second family had a cloudy expression on his face. He knew that Su Meiniang would not let him completely lose control of his son. Such a tough attitude really irritated people. This tough guy really belonged to Su Meiniang! He squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: " Let him in."

Qi Laoqi smiled, opened the door and walked in.

*******

Zhuang Yunzhou sank his mind into the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and three huge lines of origin techniques stood on the Sea of ​​Consciousness Square, with messy lines twisting and twisting, outlining an abstract ultra-modern picture.Zhuang Yunzhou forced himself to calm down, recalling the information about characters he had learned before, pages and pages of ink-scented paper seemed to float in his mind, "Dictionary of Oracle Bone Inscriptions", "Dictionary of Jinwen", "Dictionary of Xiaozhuan", "Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty" "Shuowen Jiezi", "Illustrated Shuowen Jiezi"... Wait, wait.Countless Chinese characters lined up to watch the flowers emerge.

He set his sights on one of the original techniques. Chinese characters started from the original pictorial characters, to oracle bone inscriptions, and then to the later bronze inscriptions, seal scripts, and even modern simplified characters. The shape of the characters has also changed several times, but they have one thing in common, that is, a stable pattern. Starting from oracle bone inscriptions, characters have already possessed the three elements of calligraphy, namely, the use of brushes, knots, and rules.Therefore, although these origin techniques are complicated, it is not impossible to extract words from these graffiti.

First of all, remove the lines that are obviously essays in this source technique.Closing his eyes, Zhuang Yunzhou simulated the pattern of the source technique in his mind. With a thought, he wandered around the source technique, and the lines that obviously deviated from other structures disappeared in his mind, and then the twisted and winding lines in the middle of the source technique disappeared. The lines that conform to the radicals of Chinese characters disappear... As a striped road is simulated to be erased, the covered Chinese characters gradually reveal their true body——

The word 'hidden' in Xiaozhuan script is wild and uninhibited, revealing its figure.

Zhuang Yunzhou's mind was shaken, and he explained in the book "Shuowen": concealment, concealment.It means to hide, conceal.This word is an origin technique that can hide people or things, that is to say, it is an invisibility technique!

Unraveling the first character made Zhuang Yunzhou feel relieved, and he shifted his gaze to the second origin technique pattern - this is the word "fruit" in seal script.In oracle bone inscriptions, the prefix of the word "guo" has three diamond-like patterns, which originally only represented fruit. Later, the character "guo" was changed to the shape of "tian", which means that "guo" has since come to mean food.So, probably the problem of eating has also been solved.

The last one, after Zhuang Yunzhou became familiar with the rules, his speed of interpretation accelerated.When the scattered lines are dispelled, the character "District" in oracle bone inscriptions appears. The oracle bone character of "District" is very simple, with an "L" character part and a "pin" character structure with three mouths inside, which is intended to be a container filled with food.And the three openings in the 'L' represent the division of different areas in the container to hold different things.Therefore, Zhuang Yunzhou guessed that this is an origin technique for storage, which is roughly equivalent to the storage bag in Xiuxian novels, or the backpack in games.

None of these three origin techniques are attack-type origin techniques, but each one is very useful to Zhuang Yunzhou now. The only disadvantage is that the lines of these origin techniques are too large, and the source power consumed is beyond his ability to bear.However, this is not without a solution.

Following Zhuang Yunzhou's thoughts, his spiritual consciousness instantly fell into the belly of the sacred mountain in the sea of ​​qi.The visualization map of the five sages in the mountain belly lit up, echoing the visualization map of the five sages in the Sea of ​​Consciousness Square. The light flickered, as if it was breathing.And as Zhuang Yunzhou was revolving day by day, the mysterious mist in the mountain belly gradually infiltrated Zhuang Yunzhou's consciousness, gradually rendering his originally bright yellow consciousness into a translucent white.

This practice lasted for three days and three nights. Zhuang Yunzhou woke up from the samadhi, and the three huge origin technique lines on the Conscious Sea Square had shrunk by half, and some of the useless lines had been erased by Zhuang Yunzhou. Not enough, there are still some messy lines left.

He walked out of the tree hole, and the rice water hadn't entered for three days. Not long after he left the tree hole, a huge roar sounded from his belly.Zhuang Yunzhou looked around subconsciously.There was no one in the wilderness, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, his stomach made a loud noise again, covering his stomach expressionlessly, and said to himself in a low voice: "It's really rude."

However, there is no way to be rude. It is a purely physiological reaction, and it does not depend on the person's will.

Zhuang Yunzhou found an open space and sat down. The word origin technique of “Recognize Hai Nei Guo” instantly lit up, and then a sweet potato appeared in midair out of thin air, stopped for a while, and then fell down. Zhuang Yunzhou reached out to catch it, and the long strip of red skin Sweet potatoes with white flesh, the skin is as if washed, without a trace of dust.

Thank goodness it's sweet potatoes.Taking a bite with the skin, Zhuang Yunzhou felt a little lucky, now that he has neither water nor fire, if this Origin Technique gave him a handful of wheat or rice, it would be really embarrassing.

Zhuang Yunzhou, whose stomach was gradually filled with sweet fruits, did not expect that the fluctuation of his origin technique would alarm another person in the forest.

"Huh? On the top of a tall tree not far from Zhuangyunzhou, a man leisurely closed his eyes and leaned on his arm, lying on a moderately wide branch to refresh himself, as if he was surrounded by the gentle breeze and the softness of the mountain. The warm sunlight was pleasing, and there was a relaxed and happy smile on Qingjun's face. After sensing the fluctuation of the source technique, he opened his eyelids, sat up, and happened to see a handful of unknown seeds falling on the palm of Zhuang Yunzhou, and he collected them. A picture in Jinqu' etymology.

"Huh?" The man who saw Zhuang Yunzhou's origin arts clearly became interested. The child's two origin arts are not low, especially the first origin art is very remote and rarely seen. Someone will waste effort rubbing.The fruit in his hand was also interesting, as if it had never been seen before. The man touched his chin, smiled slightly, supported the branch with both hands, and fell lightly from the tree.

"Hey, kid, what are you eating? Can you give me one?"

The sudden male voice startled Zhuang Yunzhou, he reflexively took out the seeds of Luanqiangguo, the three vines instantly completed the transformation from seedlings to juteng in mid-air, and the needle-like leaves turned towards the sound In the direction of transmission, the roots stand upright, ready to go.
