BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7867 7865-
The old eunuch glanced at the crowd with satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with everyone's surprised expressions.
In fact, he did not think that anyone could recognize all of the ancient characters. After all, even the most knowledgeable great Confucians in the Dragon state's conferred kingdoms could not translate too many characters.
There were 1054 characters in the entire rubbings, but the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state could only confirm 108 of them. Moreover, they were all intermittent and completely incoherent.
There were 222 people who were uncertain but had a guess and were more than 50% confident. Those who were completely uncertain by guessing ... The rest were all the same!
To put it bluntly, the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state had no idea what was recorded in the ancient book. 99% of it was really used for the assessment, and the remaining 0.10% was still a hope that they could brainstorm and decipher more of the words.
Although the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state did not pay much attention to the commanderies under them, there might still be some ancient inheritances left in the corners of the commanderies.
Perhaps some families had information in this area. He did not expect much progress. It would be perfect if each Commandery could recognize one or two unknown ancient characters.
It would be a pleasant surprise if he could decipher a hundred or so unknown words in one go, or even translate one or two sentences in one go!
Liu Ziyu looked at the rubbings on the screen and frowned slightly. He had not done much research in this area, so it could be said that he could not recognize a single one of the thousand words ...
The ancient language had been lost for a long time, and it was true that only those who had been passed down could understand it. Although Liu Ziyu had been raised by Sima Yunqi as his son since he was young, Sima Yunqi had never studied the ancient language!
Liu Ziyu had thought that Lin Yi was an omniscient God, but he wasn't so sure anymore after seeing the rubbings. Zhong DA's cousin had also been away from his parents since he was young, so he probably didn't have the chance to get in touch with this kind of stuff.
I wonder if cousin Zhong da knows the ancient language?
Liu Ziyu sneaked a glance at Lin Yi, but Lin Yi didn't show any expression. He didn't dare to ask, only pouting and calculating in his heart.
Now that Zhong DA's cousin was ranked first in points, if the others couldn't recognize a few of them, they could still maintain their advantage.
However, if others could recognize many of them, the ranking of this young masters Gathering would be a little uncertain!
He wondered if Zhong DA's cousin would have the chance to obtain a large number of points again during the martial competition.
MMH! There's definitely no problem, cousin Zhong da is a God of War! If it was a martial competition, who could compete with Zhong DA's cousin?
While Liu Ziyu's mind was wandering, Lin Yi wasn't idling. He had completely given up on trying to guess the meaning of the ancient text.
Lin Yi didn't know the ancient text, but there were some in the Jade space that he did!
Whether it was the ghostly thing or the nine neonate, they were old monsters from who knew how many years ago.
Even if it wasn't from the ancient era, it should be closer to that era and should have some research on the ancient characters.
So Lin Yi was communicating with the nine neonate in the Jade space, asking them to help him see what this ancient book meant.
The others were also gathered in groups of two or three, discussing the words on the screen in low voices.
The rule was that the more characters deciphered, the higher the score. There was no uniqueness, so those from the same country and those who were close to each other would study together.
They didn't know that the rubbings presented by the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state weren't fully translated, so they didn't dare to make up a story. If they knew about this ... Perhaps someone would dare to make up a story!
The old eunuch turned and left after he finished explaining the rules. He was the Prince's servant and could not be there all the time. He would only appear on behalf of the Prince at critical moments.
The host was still the palace maid who was previously in charge of grading the couplets. She seemed to be quite talented, or else she would not be qualified to comment on the good and bad of each person's couplets, let alone give an appropriate score.
After the old eunuch left, the palace maid in charge smiled and said to the crowd,""Young masters, you have two hours this time. Within two hours, you can discuss or think on your own."
"If you have any answers, you can write them down, or you can talk about them at the end. There is one thing that you need to pay attention to, because there is no uniqueness. If someone's answer is borrowed, there is no problem!"
As soon as he said that, the people in the group looked at those who were not members of the small group with vigilance and subconsciously kept some distance.
Even if they wanted to discuss, they would start to speak in a low voice, afraid that others would hear them. Then, they would prick up their ears and pretend to eavesdrop on others.
Sima Zhongxiao and Feng Zhipeng didn't come to look for Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, who were from the same country. Instead, they formed a group with the Liu brothers.
"Brother Zhong Xiao, that cousin of yours is not simple. In fact, it might be more beneficial for you to form a team with him."
Liu Zimei laughed sinisterly and leaned close to Sima Zhongxiao, saying in a low voice,""After all, your surname is Sima. If he really knows the ancient language, wouldn't our chances of winning be higher if you go and get him?"
In other words, he wanted Sima Zhongxiao to be a spy and get what Lin Yi had.
"You and Liu Ziyu both have the same surname Liu! Why don't you guys team up with Liu Ziyu!"
Sima Zhongxiao snorted. He had been acting like a grandson all this while, but he was actually very unhappy. He couldn't help but be a little angry,""If you think it's meaningless to form a team with me, then we'll part ways here!"
Previously, he had wanted to use the Liu family's power to have some influence on Hongshang Commandery or Sima zhengxin. However, he now understood that the Liu family might not have any positive influence on Sima zhengxin.
After all, Sima zhengxin's daughter did not live a good life in the Liu family, and her grandson had no choice but to return to live in Hongshang Commandery.
The two clans didn't fall out completely because of political considerations. Liu clan wanted to exert influence on Sima Zheng Xin?
Hehe, it was hard to say in the past. At the current stage, Hongshang Commandery had defeated seitong Commandery, defeated the invasion of heimei Commandery, and obtained a large number of cities and materials from these two commanderies.
If Huangyan Commandery dared to make a scene in this situation, Sima zhengxin might order his Army to attack Huangyan Commandery.
