My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

The two walked on the street and finally arrived at a house.

This house is like a small ancient palace.

It covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters.

Although it is not luxurious, it has everything.

Walked into the door.

There is a yard inside.

At this time, in the yard, there was an old man sitting alone, teasing his cricket.

There should be no records of cricket fighting during the Chu State period. Yang Feng thought that this should have been brought to him by someone who left later.

The old man was nearly sixty years old. When he saw Yun Gu and a stranger coming in, he said, "It's Yun Gu. How's everything going? Did the mission go smoothly this time?"

"It went smoothly. I brought both Yang Feng and Shui Yunmeng back."

"Okay, then this person is... Yang Feng, right?"

The old man looked at Yang Feng, sized him up for a while, then nodded and said, "It's really extraordinary."

"I brought him here this time because I wanted to take a look at the text comparison table and the pronunciation records here."

Yun Gu said.

The old man understood immediately and said, "Does he want to learn the language here? That's true. If he doesn't learn the language here, it will be less fun. But he won't stay for too long this time, right?"

"Well, I'll leave after I finish my work."

"Then I guess by the time he finishes learning, he will have to leave. I can only use it the next time he comes, haha."

The old man laughed.

Yang Feng understood what he was saying and said, "Old Senior, I will try to finish learning as quickly as possible."

"Eh?! Can he speak our language?!"

The old man was shocked.

Yun Gu smiled and said, "He just knows some very simple words."

"I see. But this is shocking enough. It has been thousands of years outside, right? I didn't expect that the language of Chu can still be spread."

The old man's tone was one of surprise and a little pride.

After all, this is the splendid culture of the Chu State.

Several people didn't waste time here.

The old man walked inside and took out two scrolls.

The scroll is made of animal skin, but it should not be sheepskin.

The advantage is that it can be preserved for a long time and is not easily damaged.

Two scrolls were unfolded on the desk in the yard, containing densely written text.

Yang Feng looked at the scroll and could see many familiar elements on it.

"This is our latest version of the text comparison table. The pronunciation annotations have also been replaced with the pinyin annotations used in recent decades."

The old man was talking to Yun Gu.

Yun Gu looked at Yang Feng and asked, "Can you understand it?"

"Well, I just didn't expect that you collected such a complete collection..."

Yang Feng saw that every word above had three versions.

The top ones are the Chu characters, the middle ones are the simplified characters commonly used in China today, and below them are the pinyin pronunciations of modern Chinese.

This is almost a dictionary of Chu characters.

"On the other scroll are some word combinations. Although some characters are the same, there are many differences between Chu characters and modern characters after the words are combined."

Yun Gu explained to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, this is already very complete. Can I look at it here for a while?"

"Of course, there's still plenty of time, but we have to go back before dark."

Yun Gu glanced at the sun in the sky.

It's past three in the afternoon now.

Yang Feng agreed and started watching intently from the side.

He had never come across anything so interesting.

This is a text dictionary from thousands of years ago. It is simply incredible.

You know, all archaeologists and historians are actually dedicated to deciphering ancient characters.

The worst among them is the oracle bone script.

However, even if all scholars spend their entire lives deciphering the ancient texts, only a few can be deciphered.

But now, there is a complete ancient character dictionary in front of him. How can Yang Feng not be excited?

Seeing how happy he was, the old man seemed to understand a little, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.

"Aunt Yun, I heard that this young man... is the princess's acknowledged father?"

The old man found a stone step in the yard and sat down, asking curiously.

Yun Gu smiled and said, "This is the princess's business."

"I think he doesn't look like an ordinary person, but being the princess's father... Hey, he probably doesn't understand this, right?"

The old man suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say these things next to Yang Feng.

Yun Gu glanced at Yang Feng and said, "He won't care."

"Ah, actually I just find it strange, how come the princess suddenly has a father? According to our etiquette, doesn't he have to be the King of Chu?"

The old man found this very strange.

Yun Gu shook her head and said, "That was what Shui Bo said. He also saw it on the stone tablet. I don't know the details, but I think he is not interested in becoming the King of Chu."

"What's the matter? He doesn't even want to be the King of Chu?"

The old man was very surprised.

Aunt Yun smiled and said, "The world outside has changed a long time ago. Didn't I tell you that it is much more interesting than here?"

"Oh~ I really can't figure it out."

The old man scratched his head.

He has been here all his life.

I think the most powerful and authoritative person is the King of Chu.

But Yun Gu said that this was not attractive to Yang Feng, which made the old man feel very puzzled.

"Forget it, forget it. I, an old man, don't understand these things either."

The old man shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the same cultivation foundation as you, otherwise I would also like to go out and take a look."

"Maybe everyone will have a chance to go out in the future."

"Hey, if that senior had stayed, it would have been right. We...well, let's just live out the rest of our lives here."

The old man's tone was somewhat regretful, but it wasn't that much of a pity.

In fact, in their eyes, today's life is indeed sufficient to meet all material needs.

Yang Feng ignored the words of the two people next to him.

At this moment, he seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​words.

With his extremely high comprehension ability and photographic memory.

Yang Feng has actually memorized most of the words here.

But Yang Feng's pronunciation is still a little bit non-standard.

He recited some words quietly to himself, but found that many of the contexts were different and still needed to be understood.

In fact, this is the charm of words.

The same words can easily have different meanings when combined into slightly different words, and the changes of the times will also give some words special meanings.

For example, the three modern words "red romance" sometimes have special meanings.

It was getting dark.

Aunt Yun reminded Yang Feng that it was time to leave.

Yang Feng came to himself, thanked the old man, and left with Yun Gu.

I think, at this time, Shui Yunmeng and her daughter, who were reunited, should have finished their conversation.
