My Taoism leads to the prehistoric

Chapter 235 Butterfly... blown Cangjie away?
Han Shou stared calmly at the teenagers in the crowd who were about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young man was dressed in animal skins, his eyes were ordinary but his eyes were extremely energetic, and people couldn't help but focus on his glowing eyes when they saw him.

The faces of the people from various tribes were all different, and all their eyes fell on the young man.

"Ji" raised his eyebrows: "Making diagrams to explain meanings did appear a few years ago, and it was my attempt, but unfortunately failed. Using diagrams to explain meanings is too complicated and too difficult to practice, so it is difficult to teach it on a large scale."

"It's rare for you, a young man, to know about this!"

"Which tribe are you from?"

The corners of "Ji"'s eyes were slightly smug, and he looked at the young man with soft eyes. Obviously, although the boy's attempt to explain the meaning of the picture failed, it was still a proud thing for "Ji".

"Chief Ji, I come from the Le tribe, which is sixteen days away. My name is Hou Gang!"

"Can patriarch Ji demonstrate the picture he made?" the young man looked forward to it.

"Ji" smiled lightly: "Why not?"

After all, he simply used his foot as a pen, and forcibly sketched on the hardened dry mud floor with a "click".

Han Shou secretly calculated the boy's roots.

There is nothing surprising about this calculation.

The young man named "Hou Gang" was indeed from the Le Tribe [-] miles away. His roots and aptitude were not outstanding. He was just an ordinary human youth.

If there is any special place, the only thing is that he likes to draw pictures since he was a child, and he will depict the scenery he sees on the ground and on the trees.

Han Shou was a little disappointed, originally he thought that the boy might be Cangjie who created characters, but the result of calculation showed that the boy had nothing to do with Cangjie.

After a while.

"Ji" worked hard for seven or eight breaths, and a slightly crude sunrise picture appeared on the ground.

There are sun, clouds, and mountains and rivers in the picture. The pattern is not exquisite, but very scribbled and simple, but it can be recognized at a glance that this is a sunrise picture.

"This picture is the one I use to explain my meaning!"

"It means the great sun in the sky!"

"If the big sun is cut in half vertically, it can be interpreted as the moon!"

"Ji" was enthusiastic: "If you erase the sun and moon on the clouds and replace them with three small circles, it can be interpreted as stars!"

Dozens of human races had different expressions, some with eyes shining as if seeing a treasure, some shaking their heads repeatedly, and some scoffing.

The boy hesitated and said: "Using such a picture to explain the meaning... is too complicated, it would be great if it could be simplified!"

"Ji" sighed: "It is indeed too complicated. It takes a long time to create a picture of the sun, moon and stars. If there are too many expressions, the time required is difficult to measure."

"Furthermore, if all races are to learn the meaning of illustrations, it may take decades to practice the scrolls, let alone create corresponding scrolls with all the content that needs to be expressed, it may take hundreds or thousands of years."

"I also thought about simplifying the picture scroll, but... if the picture scroll cannot be pictographic, how can the whole prehistoric human race practice?"

The young man couldn't hide his disappointment and sighed, falling into silence.

Han Shou did not give up, and calculated the boy's roots again. This time, he even calculated the boy's previous three lifetimes.

Unfortunately, there is still nothing special.

In the previous three lifetimes, the young man was just an ordinary member of the human race. Once he was infected with a corpse and died of miasma, once he was killed by a monster, and once he fell off a cliff and died while hunting.

His eyes fell on "Ji".

Secretly guessing, to be remembered by the Taiqing sage, could it be that the real Cangjie is actually "Ji"?
"Ji" saw the young man frowning and thinking hard, and said softly: "The difficulty in making a picture and explaining its meaning lies in simplification, Hou Gang, you...have you thought of how to simplify it?"

The boy shook his head, still staring at the three pictures on the ground that expressed "sun, moon and stars".

Han Shou's heart moved, he wanted to test whether "Ji" was Cangjie.

Loudly said: "If you want to simplify, it's not difficult!"

"Ok?"

"what?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Han Shou, looking at him in surprise.

Stride forward, raise your feet "shua shua" to erase the clouds, mountains, rivers, etc. on the pattern expressed as "day".

Everyone was shocked.

Han Shou's actions were not over yet.

Lift your foot and wipe off the solid inside the solid circle with a "swish", leaving only a hollow circle, and finally tap the center of the circle with your foot, making the center of the hollow circle one more point.

Staring at "Ji" with burning eyes.

"So simplified, feasible?"

"Ji" frowned: "Who can see that this picture is expressing the great day?"

"No, no, no!"

The young Hou Gang, who was ignored by Han Shou, stared blankly at the picture on the ground. His eyes were puzzled at first, but soon lit up. He seemed to think of something, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.

Han Shou smiled slightly: "Why can't it be seen that it is expressing the great day?"

"The sun is round, and the Golden Crow is an innate god born in the sun, which needs to be loaded with the sun rising and setting every day."

"The circle is a big sun, and a point in the circle can be interpreted as the Golden Crow!"

The young man suddenly realized, "Ji" was also stunned, everyone's eyes widened, the more they looked at the "日" pattern on the ground, the more they felt similar, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.

"Ji" frowned deeper: "Then how can the moon and the stars use pictures to explain their meaning?"

"Shhhh~"

Han Shou erased the irrelevant scenes of the other two patterns again, leaving only the semicircle and three dots.

Elongate the top and bottom of the semicircle to the left to form a pattern similar to a crescent moon.

The young man was full of excitement, staring at the simple diagram that translates as "sun and moon".

"Ji" and the crowd also widened their eyes and fell into shock.

"This this……"

"How do stars explain their meaning with pictures?" "Ji" asked anxiously.

Han Shou smiled, and completed the left and right two dots of the three dots arranged in the character "pin" to form a hollow circle, then drew the middle dot as a vertical line to separate the two circles, and then added a horizontal line at the bottom of the vertical line. line, and finally add two slanted lines that intersect diagonally upwards on the half of the vertical line, finally forming a pattern similar to a simple human face.

Everyone stared at the stick figure on the ground, and their faces were stunned.

Is it more appropriate to interpret this picture as "face"?

The expression "star" is simply nonsense.

Han Shou took it easy: "In this picture, the left and right circles can be used for many days, and the sun and stars can shine, but the stars have no golden crow, so a little bit is omitted in the center of the double sun."

"The vertical line separating the two days and the two crossing diagonal lines should be interpreted as meteors that often break through the night sky, and the bottom horizontal line means the earth."

"Everyone, according to my words, look at this picture again... Can you understand it?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Ji" relaxed his frowning brows, and subconsciously nodded.

The young Hou Gang excitedly said loudly: "Okay!"

"Creating pictures based on their characteristics can not only understand the meaning of the pictures, but also can be used as a basis to extend to all things in the world. I understand, I understand!"

"This is no longer making pictures to explain the meaning, but it implies a sign of making pictures to explain the meaning. Therefore, it cannot be called making pictures to explain the meaning. It should...should be called, called..." The young man opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know what to choose. what name.

Han Shou said lightly, "Words!"

"'Wen' is both art and science, and image!"

"'Characters' are symbols of literature and science!"

The boy's eyes were as bright as stars, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement: "Okay, okay!"

Looking at Han Shou with eyes full of reverence: "That's how it should be, that's how it should be!"

"Brother, use your method to create...create characters, everything in this world can be included."

After saying that, Hou Gang seemed to be in a daze, and immediately lay down on the ground, drawing vigorously with his fingers on the dry soil:
"Based on this principle, 'water' can be interpreted by three twisted and downward lines!"

"'Mountain' can be interpreted together with the three mountains in its shape!"

……

The boy fell into his own world completely, writing and drawing on the ground crazily, creating hieroglyphs one by one.

"Boom~"

The void exploded with thunder that mortals could not hear.

Han Shou, who stared dumbfounded at the boy, was startled awake and raised his head suddenly.

Above the sky, a large number of mysterious golden clouds gathered from all directions, and the more characters Hou Gang created, the bigger the golden clouds gathered.

Han Shou's mind was buzzing.

Shouldn't it be Cang Jie's job to create characters?
Could it be that he, a butterfly flapping its wings... has blown Cangjie away?
This unremarkable human youth named Hou Gang...will replace Cangjie?

Was the "Ji" branded by the Taiqing sages Cangjie at all?
