Khorne

Chapter 47 "The Son of Terror"

This is to set a monument for myself!Naturally, Zheng feared that he would not refuse, and immediately nodded and said: "There is nothing I can do."

When he said this, he suddenly asked: "It's just that what kind of medium is the old man planning to write in? Bamboo slips or paper books?"

Cao Hui said: "Of course it's a paper book. The bamboo slips are too bloated, it's not easy to reproduce, and the cost is extremely high, so it's not very suitable."

Paper book?
Zheng fear suddenly pondered.

Both Cao Hui and Zhang Chengli looked at him curiously.

Could there be something wrong with such a good thing?
"Mr.," Zheng feared after thinking for a while, looked at Cao Hui, and said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem with this paper book, but I have studied some things about book writing before writing it down. I don't know if the old man is interested. ?”

Hearing that Zheng Xing actually dabbled in this area, Cao Hui's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Zheng feared: "The current paper book is read from top to bottom and from right to left. It is not very convenient to read this way, and it is extremely difficult to divide paragraphs in today's paper book writing format. So Zheng Out of boredom, I came up with a possible method called punctuation."

"Punctuation marks?!" Cao Hui's eyes lit up suddenly. Although he didn't know what the punctuation marks were, he knew that what Zheng Xing was talking about was indeed a big problem for scholars.

To put it bluntly, in the Song Dynasty, punctuation marks were not popular, and people had to judge sentences by themselves.

Why do ancient books such as The Book of Songs and Analects have different views for each person?
This sentence is one of the big reasons.

The same sentence, but different sentences, have different meanings.

fall in love with someone.

Like, on, alone.

Like, last person.

Like, alone.

It's easy to get ambiguous.

Cao Hui has read books all his life, so this kind of thing is naturally obvious.

He felt more and more that Zheng feared that this person was unfathomable, and excitedly said: "So, Xiao Langjun, you already have a solution?"

"Of course there are." Zheng fear smiled and nodded.

Zhang Chengli hastily ordered the servants in his family: "Hurry up, get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Soon the servants brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zheng feared that he would start writing on the paper.

He wrote the character "Zi" on the upper left corner of the paper, and then wrote the character "日" on the right side of "Zi", and asked Cao Hui, "Does the old man understand?"

Cao Hui shook his head and said, "What does Xiao Lang mean, this format needs to be arranged from left to right, horizontally?"

Zheng fear nodded, said: "Exactly."

Then he clicked a ":" after the word "say", and said: "These two dots mean what so-and-so said."

Cao Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily: "That's not bad, what anyone said is clear at a glance. Then?"

Zheng fear wrote the left half of the double quotation marks again, saying: "This symbol like two tadpoles represents what he said."

As he spoke, he wrote the three words "since I came" inside the double quotation marks, followed by a comma, and said: "The single one below here represents a pause in the middle of a sentence."

Then he wrote the second half of the sentence "Ze Anzhi" and drew a small circle behind it, saying: "This means the end of this sentence."

"So it is, so it is!"

Cao Hui's eyes brightened, as if he had discovered a new continent. After picking up the paper, he read it several times over and over again. He read it while reading it. According to the method Zheng Xing said, after reading it several times, he said in surprise. : "In this way, those messy ambiguities will indeed be eliminated. This move of Mr. Xiao Lang is really a genius!"

As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed to Zheng Xing: "Please be respected by the old man!"

"Oh, please get up!" Zheng fear hurriedly helped him up.

Regardless of Cao Hui's status or age, he is not worthy of this, Zheng Xing said with a smile: "As long as it is useful for reading, that's fine."

"It's more than useful," Cao Hui sighed, "Only this punctuation mark has solved a big problem for us scholars. There won't be so many arguments when we study in the future! It's so good, old man." When I go back, I will apply this punctuation mark and writing format to this "The Son of Terror", and then it will be widely spread, and it will be of great use!"

He was really serious this time.

This writing format is combined with this punctuation mark, and this time when reading the article again, it will be much more transparent!
Zhang Chengli also sighed at the side: "In the beginning, I just thought that the hero has great talent, but now I realize that I was a little conservative before, hahahaha!"

The three laughed together.

This meal can be said to be a feast for the guests and the host, and everyone will go back to their respective homes after the meal.

Cao Hui returned to his yard, thought of the punctuation marks Zheng Xing said, carefully recalled what he did today, took a pen and paper, and started to write.

Accidentally, it was written in the upper right corner.

Cao Hui was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, crumpled up the paper, and started again.

This time, he pondered for a moment every time he wrote a word.

Title: "The Terror"

Signed by: Cao Hui
In ancient times, writing a book required writing a preface.

Cao Hui intends to write a better preface for Zheng Xing, the kind with an accompanying poem, so that Cao Hui's level can be seen.

But after he thought for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Well, I still place too much emphasis on fame and fortune after all." Cao Hui shook his head, and threw out a poem he had already thought up: "This is about Xiao Langjun's life story, why are you showing off?"

When Cao Hui thought about it this way, he became clearer in an instant, and then began to change direction.

This time he didn't write any particularly delicate poems, but wrote the reading format and how to use punctuation marks——

"Reading of this book: from left to right, from top to bottom."

": means someone said"

"""means what someone said"

", meaning that the words stopped, but did not finish"

".meaning the end of a sentence..."

"All formats in this book can refer to this regulation to avoid ambiguity."

"Call it: Punctuation"

"Creator: Zheng fear."

After changing the original preface to this, Cao Huizai carefully checked it three times before he nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "In this way, the punctuation marks and the writing and reading format can be spread. Mr. Xiao Lang's actions are worth a thousand years!"

The more he looked at it, the more he was satisfied, so he took out a new piece of paper with this feeling, and began to record——

"Zheng Horn, known as the Son of Horror, is six feet six inches long, as wise as Kong Ming, as brave as Xiang Yu, as swift as a galloping horse, and pulling poplars."

"In the first year of Xuanhe, Gengxu in September, in the north of Qinghe County, Horozi persuaded Shen Jie from the Siming Gang, and later encountered more than ten robbers from the Liao people in the north of Siming Mountain six miles away."

"Zi Li pulled up the mountain and turned his palm three times. The people of Liao were terrified, so they begged for mercy. The master said that he was faithful. If he could please his son, he would live, otherwise he would die."

"If one person fails, the head will be three rounds."

"All Liao thieves are terrified, and there are three more people who are like maggots crawling."

"The son is very happy, so let him go."

Ancient paper was precious, so Cao Hui couldn't pour water as hard as writing web articles, so it can be said that every word is worth a lot of money, and if he can use less than one word, he will never use more.

The whole incident also only used these words.

After that, Cao Hui wrote some new interpretations of Zheng Kin's Analects below.

"The Master said: When a friend comes from afar, he must first torment his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and leave him empty. Afterwards, he can be whipped dozens of times, and drive him away from another courtyard. Said: It's such a joy."

"The Master said: When a person is about to die, his words are good. It is said that if you beat a person to the point of death, your words will be pleasant."

"The Master said: benevolence, righteousness and morality. Ren is the skill of dividing a person into two. Righteousness is the power to smash a human head into the chest cavity. When you master this power, you can only talk about morality..."

The more Cao Hui wrote, the more he felt that Zheng Xing's opinion was very reasonable, and he immediately wrote like a god, without stopping for a moment.

And he wrote here, unconsciously, a lot of red energy appeared around his body, which continuously merged into his body.
