Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 302 Translation
"It feels so good to be home." As soon as he entered the yard of his house, Liang En opened the door of the cage and released the three ravens that had been suffocating all the way inside, then stretched his waist and sighed.

Although his body has been strengthened many times, the fatigue on his body after the long-distance flight still hasn't changed much, so he naturally wants to take a good rest.

It's a pity that after turning on the computer and checking his mailbox, he found that he couldn't rest temporarily, especially after going to the United States for more than a month this time, he suddenly had a lot of things piled up on his hands to deal with.

One of the most important emails was an invitation letter from Huaxia, inviting him to participate in an international seminar on the Maritime Silk Road.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of seminar would only invite scholars from countries along the Maritime Silk Road, but this time the invitation letter to Liang En was obviously because of the batch of Chinese cultural relics that Liang En had returned in the United States.

Of course, this is a way for Huaxia to show friendship to Liang En, because Liang En is now a scholar in everyone's eyes, and participating in this kind of seminar is obviously a very beneficial thing for scholars.

He is naturally very willing to this kind of invitation, because he has never returned to his hometown in this world, so he can just take this opportunity to visit his hometown.

So he immediately sat by the computer and wrote an email seriously and sent it to the other party, and then checked the other emails in the mailbox.

The other emails were mainly sent by Earl Bossett and Mr. Scold, mainly saying that the excavation work of the turquoise mine was going well, and the first batch of turquoise had begun to enter the jewelry processing and design process.

However, it is not easy to sell these top turquoises from the Sinai Peninsula at the desired price, so it will take at least three months to hype these things.

Of course, the other party also expressed in the email that it would be great if Liang En could write a story about this turquoise, after all, everyone is very interested in stories about adventures in the wild.

"If it's a simple popular science article, the publicity effect is probably very mediocre." Liang En quickly searched for information in his mind, "But I can add some ancient Egyptian legends about turquoise to it, and then add it sketch."

Although most of the skills that come with the [Imhotep (SR)] card that I got before are not very useful now, there are a lot of stories about ancient Egyptian gods and images of ancient Egyptians. It can be used at this time.

Soon, he found several stories related to turquoise from these memories, and then decided what he wanted to draw.

For him, since he is a scholar of history, drawing some historical restoration maps related to turquoise and looking at those old stories should be able to play a certain role.

With his current mastery of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, he can completely arouse everyone's interest by writing those short stories in ancient Egyptian language, which can be regarded as a kind of propaganda for ancient Egyptian culture.

Of course, these are all long-term plans for this period of time.For him, the most important job now is to translate the text on the box of bamboo slips worth more than 30 US dollars last time.

"This thing should be completely repaired first." Entering the underground treasure house and looking at some bamboo slips that were obviously missing, Liang En immediately started the repair work using cards
.As he imagined before, although these bamboo slips seem to be relatively well preserved, they are still missing, so when it was determined that the [Repair (N)] card could not be used, he decisively used the [Repair (R) )].

"Bamboo, ink, cinnabar, writing brush—it seems that the items needed for this repair are not too many and not very complicated." Liang En breathed a sigh of relief after reading the items required for the repair given by the card.

He had all these things in his room, so Liang En quickly took them out and began to cast spells. When the light disappeared, he found that the original uneven bamboo slips had been replaced, and there were more than 20 more. Tablets, the most important of which is the title written in cinnabar in the middle.

"Let me see what is written on this thing—" Looking at the dense bird and insect writing on the bamboo slips, Liang En used [Ciphertext Deciphering (R)] to start deciphering from scratch.

This kind of deciphering work is very difficult, because he doesn't know the characters of Chu State. Fortunately, today's Chinese is inherited from the ancient laws, so he still has some advantages in deciphering in this respect.

这些45cm左右的竹简上一根上边写着30多个字，现在一共有900多根27000——28000字的样子，而梁恩每消耗一点传说点数能翻译出3~4根竹简。

"In the past, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty observed that the king of Shang was disrespectful to God. He worshiped Buyin, but he used it as the emperor's residence. He named it Qianmu in the name of worshiping God and gods, and used it to overcome the business and govern the world. Zhou was tortured greatly, Qing, Li, Zhuzheng, and Wanmin put their swords in their hearts—”

After translating the corresponding characters word by word according to modern Chinese, Liang En quickly discovered that what was written on the bamboo slips was a history book.

Judging from the translated contents of the bamboo slips one by one, he can roughly confirm that these bamboo slips should be the history recorded by the Chu people during the Warring States Period.

The history recorded in the bamboo slips is a chronological history book from the beginning of King Wu's defeat of Zhou in the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the fall of Ying, the capital of Chu State in the 278th year of King Qingxiang of Chu in 19 BC.

The earliest and most famous chronological history book in China is "Spring and Autumn".People even named an era in history after this book.

Perhaps because writing on bamboo slips is not a particularly simple matter, Chinese people in ancient times often memorized various characters very concisely, and even a few words could record a very important event in history.

It is not surprising that hundreds of years of history are recorded in less than 3 characters. Similarly, taking "Spring and Autumn" as an example, this history book that records more than 200 years of history only has more than 8000 characters.

Considering that some legendary points should always be reserved to deal with accidents, even if he uses the function of recharging legendary points every day, he can only spend 30 points on translation, that is, he translates about [-] words a day.

Of course, the number of words translated per day increases over time.After all, as he gradually learns, he will gradually grasp the meaning of these words, and then speed up the translation.

So in the following time, Liang En hardly ever went out of the house, and devoted himself to the translation of the bamboo slips, while Joan of Arc was helping with cooking or cleaning the house.

Although Joan's cooking level is still a bit bad, fortunately, there are a lot of instant food now, so the difficulty of simple processing is not too big.

And Joan is also a very smart person, so while watching the video, she also learned a lot of simple cooking skills.

For example, in the food served these days, in addition to some quick-frozen food, there are also some simple salads, fried chicken breasts, fruit pies and meat pies.

"It tastes very good." During the meal that day, Liang En said after taking a bite of the newly made meat pie. "At least it tastes like the meat pies I get in town."

"As long as you like it." A smile appeared on Jeanne's face. "Yesterday, I learned from your mother how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and ground delicacies. Tonight, you can try my new recipe."
